    Hi Again


    I'm just wondering could someone help me with this. I'm using VS 2005 and MySQL.

    I have a Drop Down List and button below it.

    Depending on the selection they choose, when they click the button I wish to direct them to a certain page.

    This is what I've tried so far


    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue != "UCC") Response.Redirect("http://localhost:55538/Project/SearchUCC.aspx");

    else
    if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue != "CIT") Response.Redirect("http://localhost:55538/Project/SearchCIT.aspx");

    }

    Is this anything like I should have or can someone let me know what to do.

    Try Response.Redirect("SearchUCC.aspx");

    That might do it for you.

    Yeah you see it does redirect it but the problem is when I choose CIT it still redirects to the UCC page rather than CIT

    Ah that's the problem you are having.

    The problem is != means not equals. So when you select CIT the first if statement gets executed because you are saying "when dropdown is not equal to UCC redirect to UCC".

    Change the != to == and that should solve it.

    Hope I'm not annoying you now but that isn't working for me either - bloody frustrating


    EDIT
    Ignore that I just got it working, I forgot to take out the automatic URL I put in while I was doing other things on it.

    Cheers for you help

    Check and see what the value of the selected item actually is.....
    what development platform are you using?

    maybe put a break point in your code, or just print out DropDownList1.SelectedValue regardless. You'd be surprised what it can be sometimes!!

    Does your list have a .toString() member?
    Maybe try that......
    if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString() == "UCC")

    But print out the value first anyway
    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Just Print out the value here anyway on a label or something

     if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue == "UCC")  
     {         
        Response.Redirect("SearchUCC.aspx");
      }
     else if (DropDownList1.SelectedValue == "CIT") 
     {
         Response.Redirect("SearchCIT.aspx");
     }
}
