I found an example in witch I do not understand something in asp.net webforms.The example is made using a details view control.Here is the code:

<InsertItemTemplate> <asp:DropDownList ID=”DropDownList1” runat=”server” DataSourceID=”GenresDataSource“ DataTextField=”Name” DataValueField=”Id” SelectedValue=’<%# Bind(“GenreId”) %>’> </asp:DropDownList> </InsertItemTemplate>

In the dropdown list I understand that:

  • DataTextField - represent the name of the item that is shown in the dropdown
  • DataValueField = represents the value of the selected Item
  • SelectedValue - I think it represent the item the user selects but I am not sure corect me if I am wrong

If what I said in the the top is true what does this statement generate in the case witch GenreId is a column in a database:

<%# Bind(“GenreId”) %>’

Reset to default

This will set the selected value of the dropdown to the "GenreId". So the default value of the dropdown will be the ID.
