How to moving a list to codebehind?

[Paul Johnson]

Hi,

I have some markup on a page which I need to move to a code behind and I'm not quite sure how to do it

An example is this

<asp:DropDownList ID="YearList" runat="server">
         <asp:ListItem Value="1940" Title="1940" />
         <asp:ListItem Value="1950" Title="1950" />
         <asp:ListItem Value="1960" Title="1960" />
         <asp:ListItem Value="1970" Title="1970" />

Would the codebehind become

With YearList
  .Value(0)="1940"
  .Text(0)="1940"
End With

or would it be something else?

Thanks

Will the list values be coming from a database or just will it be just a predefined list?

You could use:

Dropdownlist.It ems.Add(New ListItem("1940" , "1940")) - If the value is different from the displayed item.

If they are the same, you can use:

Dropdownlist.It ems.Add("1940")
