Retrieve value from hidden/disabled DropDownList?

[Cipher]

I've got a DropDownList control on my ASP.Net page and I cannot retrieve
it's value (via its SelectedValue property) if the control is hidden or
disabled. Once I set the control to visible and enabled then the currently
selected value is available in code.

Any ideas how I can hide or disable a DropDownList but still retrieve its
value as I don't want the users to be able to directly change its value.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you should set control visibility style to hidden :

XXX.Style["visibility "] = "hidden";
