Hi Guys,

I have a dropdownlistbox with 4 Items, which are entered manually like

Value DisplayName

0 Patient

1 Nurse

2 Doctor

3 Referral

Lets say user selects Nurse, I want to send Nurse to the database and not 1
but when I use the code

mainNav1.SelectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/my:ComboReason",
NamespaceManager).Value it returns 1 but I want to get the actual
DisplayName, how can I do it plz let me know ASAP.

Thanks very much guys

Cheers

Chandra

You cannot lookup the DisplayName using static entries in your drop-down list
box. You'll have to bind your drop-down list box to either a secondary data
source or a repeating node in your main data source. Once you've done that
you can use a filter in your XPath expression to lookup the DisplayName in
your secondary data source or repeating node by using the selected value.
