Utilice el control DropDownList para crear un control de lista desplegable de selección única. Para controlar la apariencia del control DropDownList, establezca el valor de las propiedades BorderColor, BorderStyle y BorderWidth.

Para especificar los elementos que van a figurar en el control DropDownList, coloque un elemento ListItem por cada entrada entre las etiquetas de apertura y de cierre del control DropDownList.

El control DropDownList también admite el enlace de datos. Para enlazar el control a un origen de datos, cree primero un origen de datos, como una lista ArrayList, que contenga los elementos que se van a mostrar en el control. A continuación, utilice el método DataBind para enlazar el origen de datos al control DropDownList. Utilice las propiedades DataTextField y DataValueField para especificar qué campo del origen de datos se va a enlazar a las propiedades Text y Value, respectivamente, de cada elemento de lista del control. Ahora, el control DropDownList mostrará la información del origen de datos.

Utilice la propiedad SelectedIndex para determinar mediante programación el índice del elemento seleccionado por el usuario en el control DropDownList. A continuación, se podrá utilizar el índice para recuperar el elemento seleccionado de la colección Items del control.

Para obtener información detallada sobre las propiedades y los eventos del control de servidor Web DropDownList, consulte la documentación relativa a DropDownList.

Ejemplo

En el siguiente ejemplo de código se muestra cómo crear un control DropDownList que contenga cuatro elementos.
