Question

Is there a way to disable an asp.net dropdown list from the vb code behind?

<select id="reassign_reason" name="reassign_reason">    

This is the name of my drop down list and I tried this in the code behind in vb.net

reassign_reason.disabled = True  

Thanks

You need the control to be a server side control if you want to be able to control it from your code behind.

To do so, add a runat="server" attribute to the element.

<select id="reassign_reason" name="reassign_reason" runat="server"> 

Then in your code behind:

reassign_reason.Disabled = True
