Drop down menu Value

[brent123]

I have a web page that has a drop down list on it. I would like to store the value the user selects in a variable. I tried using dropdownName.Value, but everytime the script runs it errors out saying The name "dropDopName" does not exist in current context. How do I access that value?

Thanks,

I believe you have to use the selectedvalue or selecteditem.value property.

That doesn't seem to be it. I don't think it can find the drop down list. I keep getting a compilation error: CS0103: The name 'selHospital' does not exist in the current context. selHospital is the name of the drop down list.

Perhaps you could post the code that's giving your error...
