beginners dropdown question

[Yog]

I am using the following to select an item in a dropdown at runtime.

If its a bad data and item doesn't exists in dropdown it errors out, is
there any other way to avoid this.

Thank you.

this.CTRY_CD1.I tems.FindByValu e(oDrSBAD1["CTRY_CD"].ToString().Tri m()).Selected = true;

Check the data item to be searched on for a null value before selecting it.
