Dropdown List Box - Adding an item value

[Brian Candy]

With a drop down list box, I have discovered how to add a text
description. Now how do I go about adding a value?

For FNa = 0 To dsDetails.Tables("Team").Rows.Count - 1
Row = dsDetails.Tables("Team").Rows(FNa)
dlTeam.Items.Add(Row.Item("Description"))
Next

Thanks in advance

Hi, Brian Candy,

You should use the other overload of the method Add of the
ListItemCollection class which takes a ListItem object as parameter:

dlTeam.Items.Add(New ListItem("Text", "Value"))

Hope this helps

use this syntax

dlTeam.Items.Add(New ListItem("No", 0))
dlTeam.Items.Add(New ListItem("Yes", 1))
