Question

I have a dropdownlist connected to a objectdatasource. How can I get the DataValueField=TypeId ? I use the onselectedindexchanged to get the selected Type, how can I do the same with TypeId?

 <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList" runat="server"  
 DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource" DataTextField="Type"  
 DataValueField="TypeId" AutoPostBack="true"  
 onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged">
                        </asp:DropDownList>

Answer 1

To get the value:

int id = int.Parse(DropDownList.SelectedValue);
