Question

I’m using Model-View-Presenter framework. When Loading a page, I’m having trouble setting the selected item that came from the Database.

In view, I know I need:

protected void ddlStatus_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    presenter.DdlStatusSelectedIndexChanged();
// what should this pass?
}

Then in Presenter:
public void DdlStatusSelectedIndexChanged()
{
   view.DdlStatus = ???
// Should I pass the SelectedIndex?
}

I also think that part of my problem is that DdlStatus I have as a List.
Interface:

List<StatusDTO> DdlStatus { set; get; }

Does anybody have some simple examples of this?
The best I found is here (but needs formatted!) —>

I figured this out. It’s a bit of a cheese but …

public int DdlStatusSelectedIndex
{   
  set
  {
     for (int i = 0; i < ddlStatus.Items.Count; i++)
     {
        if (ddlStatus.Items[i].Value.Equals(value.ToString()))
        {
           ddlStatus.SelectedIndex = value;
        }
     }
  }
}
