Hi, I am having 2 dropdown lists 1st dropdownlist contains A-Z list.2nd dropdown list contains some names like akila,bindu,chinni,....zibra etc. when i select name in 2nd dropdown list, the first letter of that name should be highlight in 1st dropdown.eg. i select chinni then "C" should be highlight in 1st dropdown. Please help me how to resolve this problem. Thanks in advance Pavani

you can make use of Javascripts functions to solve this problem. On change event of second dropdown, call a Jscript function. In this Jscript function identify the selected value and based on it select the appropriate value in first dropdown. Hope this helps you.

On 2nd dropdownlist selectedEvent you find dropdownlist2.selectedItem.Text . then this value assign to a string value ch ; now use the split function in string ch and find first letter if the string . then use dropdownlist2.items.findbyText("XXX").selected = true ; here XXX = first letter of the string and first dropdownlist must contains A-Z Alphabates . Thankx if it helps .

Thank you so much for all your response. I solved my problem with this code foreach (ListItem item in ddlcont.Items) { if (item.Text.StartsWith(txtcont.Text, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)) { ddlcont.SelectedIndex = ddlcont.Items.IndexOf(item); } }
