Select item from dropdownlist

Summary:	A simple way to select an item from a drop-down list.

Keywords:	DROPDOWNLIST ITEMS LISTBOX SELECTED SELECTEDINDEX
Applicable Software:	Active Server Pages .NET (ASP.NET) C# Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET)

Body:	In .NET, a common task is to preselect an item in a drop-down list. Previously, in VB I would loop through the Items collection and check to see if the values matched. If so, I would then set the DropDownList's SelectedIndex property to the current loop iteration. In .NET, the Collections class has made this MUCH easier by providing FindByValue and FindByText methods. You can now simply do: TheDDL.SelectedIndex = TheDDL.Items.IndexOf(TheDDL.Items.FindByValue("VALUE TO FIND"))
