dropdownlist on asp

[meidianakusuma]

guys, i'm newbie in asp.net..

hmm can i make the choice that i choose in drop down list disappear after being chosen??

Doing this will remove it from the selection list.

myDDList.SelectedItem.Enabled = false;

where myDDList is the name of your dropdownlist control.

i got it,

but why after i choose the first one, and the i want to choose another, it replace, not added??

here my code

Sub ok(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
boxText.Text = DDL1.SelectedItem.Text
DDL1.SelectedItem.Enabled = false

End Sub



country:
<asp:DropDownList ID="DDL1" runat="server" >
<asp:ListItem Value="Indonesia"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Malaysia"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Brunei"></asp:ListItem>

</asp:DropDownList><br />
<asp:Button id="btn1" Text="OK" OnClick="ok" runat="server" />
<asp:textbox id="boxText" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Columns="50" Rows="6" />

Because you are replacing the text within the textbox.
boxText.Text = DDL1.SelectedItem.Text
Try something like this.
boxText.Text += DDL1.SelectedItem.Text + "\n"

The += adds the new text to the existing text, the \n makes a new line for the new text.

btw: vinyl-junkie Thanks I did not know it was so easy to remove items from a dropdownlist. Thanks again.

"\n" may work in C# but in VB.NET I think you would need vbCrLf, or possibly vbLf.

You are right. I am not into VB but he still has to do something along those line.
In C# works fine, not sure in VB he can use vbNewLine also I think. Not sure if the += will add new text to the textbox in VB.
