I have a DropDownList and want to randomly set the selected index at PageLoad.

I have a DropDownList and want to randomly set the selected index at PageLoad.
Can this be done declaratively in the aspx file?

If so, how? If not, how do I do so in PageLoad() in C#?

Thanks.

    no idea how to do this in the aspx… but on PageLoad you just do this:

    myDropDownList.SelectedIndex = new System.Random().Next (myDropDownList.Items.Count);
