Hi everyone,
I have the following code
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Administator" Visible="True"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="IsAdministator" Runat="server" text='<%#
FormatIsAdministator(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "IsAdministator"))
%>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="NewIsAdministator" Runat="server"
CssClass="textbox1">
<asp:ListItem Value="0" Text="No"/>
<asp:ListItem Value="1" Text="Yes"/>
</asp:DropDownList>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
Does anyone know how in EditItemTemplate I can preselect the ListItem in my
DropDownList based on what's currently in the database (0 or 1 for
NewIsAdministator dropdownlist)?
I tried: SelectedIndex = '<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"IsAdministator") %>' but that failed
Thank you
Maz.

Did you try in the method delegate to the ItemDataBound event ? Try this:
if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.EdiItem)
{
((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("NewIsAdministator")).SelectedValue =
((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem).Row["IsAdministrator"];
}

I tried it
((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("NewIsAdministator")).SelectedIndex =
(int)((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem).Row["IsAdministrator"];
and it still fails.
I can't figure out why it's complaining

Any idea why it's saying that?
Thank you

Ok, I forgot a little thing. This is the correct piece of code (I hope so):
if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.EdiItem)
{
((DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("NewIsAdministator")).SelectedValue =
((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem).Row["IsAdministrator"].ToString();
}
As you know, in a DropDownList, the SelectedValue property is a string, so
we have to convert the value received from the DataItem to a string value.
