    text
    <p>I have a dropdownlist of the form:</p> <pre><code> &lt;asp:DropDownList runat="server" CssClass="holdTypeDDL" ID="holdTypeDDL"&gt;&lt;/asp:DropDownList&gt; </code></pre> <p>and is filled onload in c# codebehind of an aspx page when !Page.isPostback via :</p> <pre><code> holdTypeDDL.Items.Add(new ListItem(string.Empty, false.ToString())); holdTypeDDL.Items.Add(new ListItem(HoldTypeType.Now.Description(), false.ToString())); holdTypeDDL.Items.Add(new ListItem(HoldTypeType.AAHoldType.Description(), true.ToString())); holdTypeDDL.Items.Add(new ListItem(HoldTypeType.AAAHoldType.Description(), true.ToString())); holdTypeDDL.Items.Add(new ListItem(HoldTypeType.AAAAHoldType.Description(), false.ToString())); </code></pre> <p>I have noticed if one of the options of the select are selected that have a string value of False, it does not consider it selected. I.e. the selected index is 0 after postback. If an item with true is selected and value grabbed on postback, it works fine.</p> <p>I cannot find any documentation as to why this is. Why does having a "False" string in the value of an option element make it not post back properly?</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Renders in HTML as such:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select class="holdTypeDDL" id="BodyContent_holdTypeDDL" name="ctl00$BodyContent$holdTypeDDL"&gt; &lt;option value="False"&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="False"&gt;Now&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="True"&gt;AA Hold Type&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="True"&gt;AAA Hold Type&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="False"&gt;AAAA Hold Type&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
