Text value of Dropdown.

How do you get the selected text of a dropdown box? Selectedvalue will get
you the value and selectedindex will get you the position, but how do you
get the text (it isn't selectedText).

Thanks,

TomHi tshad,

Try this:

yourDropDownList.SelectecItem.Text

Oh! Indeed, DropDownList.SelectedItem.Text is what you're after. :S

That was it.

I can never seem to remember that when I need it.

I never understood why you have a SelectedValue, but not a SelectedText.

Thanks,
