ASP.NET - dropCity.Items.FindByText(City).Selected = true;

string city ="MISSION VIJEO";
but dropdown value have Mission Vijeo....
because case sensitive...
dropCity.Items.FindByText(City).Selected = true;

Change your code like this-

      string city ="MISSION VIJEO";
      DropDownList1.Items.FindByText(city.ToLower ()).Selected = true;

Try this and let me know.

Hi,,

Below is the a small helper method which you can this for incasesentivity of Dropdownlist findByText

public ListItem FindByTextCaseInsensitive(ListControl  ddlctl, string text)

{

          if (ddlctl == null)

                  return null;

          foreach (ListItem li in ddlctl.Items) {

                  if (string.Compare(li.Text, text, true) == 0)

                          return li;

          }

          return null;

}

 

 

just use this method instead of already defined method FindByText.

dropCity.SelectedItem= FindByTextCaseInsensitive(dropCity, City);
