how to select with DropDownList.text

drpFunction.SelectedValue = drpFunction.Items.FindByText(t).Value;

This is better way to select text. By ioden's way it will show an error

"Multiple Items Cannot be selected in DropDownList"

Setting the itm.Selected = true; only works if you drp.ClearSelection() first. I prefer the following:

drpFunction.SelectedValue = drpFunction.Items.FindByText(t).Value;

 string t = "test";
 drpFunction.ClearSelection();
 drpFunction.Items.FindByText(t).Selected = true;
