Thanks Mike, Will try out the solution you have suggested. Is there anyway I can do this using XMLTextReader... Regards, Vinu

I have an XML document in my asp.net application containing country information eg 1 Afghanistan Afghan 93 Asia 2 Albania Albanian 355 Europe 3 Algeria Algerian 213 Africa When a country is selected from a dropdown list, I want to be able to run through the xml document and pick out the corresponding continent only. What is the best way to do this?:) Thanks, Vinu<

I have a drop down list in my asp.net form that I have populated from my database using datasource and databind. This bit is fine. Now I want the first option text and value to be blank. Can anyone help me??? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. But when I tried to dynamically generate parameters in the asp:hyperlink's navigateurl, I kept getting a parse error. Anyway I have replaced the asp;hyperlink with a normal a href and it worked!!

I am developing an asp.net application using vb. I have a hyperlink control in my repeater template and I am not able to dynamically create parameters for its querystring. The parameter is the same value as the text. The reason I am using a hyperlink against a linkbutton is that I want the target window to be a popup. Runat="server" ID="Hyperlink1">
