SelectedValue of DropDownList is not the one I selected when Enabled=false?

This is by design. Values for disabled controls are not posted. Use some other mechanism.

I think it's quite simply a matter of not being enabled. If it's not enabled it can't hold a value, and reverts to the default.

Alternatively, you can read/write to a List or Dictionary; and assign the list to your DropDownList datasource whenever the DropDownList box gets enabled.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
