I have a drop down list that is populated via a web service. The web service returns a dataset. Now I want to make a selcted index as selected in the drop down. How do i do this. <br /><br />I can do the same thing in asp.net as follows.<br /><br />myDropDownList.SelectedItem.Selected="True"<br /><br />Thanks in advance for the help.<br /><br />speddi
