VB.Net Dropdownlist帮助

Question

I am trying to figure out how to do this code example below

Backend.. I have sql 2008r2 database and have a couple tables basically in my page load event of the vb project i am calling a select statement such as

  Dim strQuery As String = "Select * from RoomName_List" Dim con As New SqlConnection(strConnString) Dim cmd As New SqlCommand() cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text cmd.CommandText = strQuery cmd.Connection = con Try con.Open() ddlRoomName.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader() ddlRoomName.DataTextField = "RoomName" ddlRoomName.DataValueField = "intRoom" ddlRoomName.DataBind() 

defaultpage i have a cmd click event Session("intRoom") = ddlRoomName.Text

Then what i am doing is sending the values to a session variable and redirecting to another page.

Here is where the problem is when i call my session variable and it displays on the confirmation page it is displaying the dropdownlist value.

Which i would like to submit that value to my database table but would like to actually display the datatextfield is this possible?

Thanks

If you want to display the Text instead of the Value. You could use your stored Session variable to achieve this.

Label1.Text = ddlRoomName.Items.FindByValue(Session["intRoom"].ToString()).Text;
