Hello,

I've tried to reproduce the issue but without success. 

Please see my code in  FormView1_Item_Updateing handler:

  protected void FormView1_ItemUpdating(object sender, FormViewUpdateEventArgs e)

    {

        WebDropDown wdd = (WebDropDown)FormView1.FindControl("WebDropDown1");

        List<DropDownItem> items = wdd.SelectedItems;

        foreach (DropDownItem item in wdd.Items)

        {

            if (item.Selected) {

                Debugger.Break();

            }

        }

    }

Here I am able to get the selected Items.

In your code in the same Event you do only this:

 Dim ThisWebDropDown As WebDropDown = CType(Me.FormView1.FindControl("WebDropDown1"), WebDropDown)

but not actually access the Items of the control.

You try to reach the items of the control in FormView1_DataBound Event handler : as invoke this method  - Me.PopulateSystemTypes(); ,  So , since I'm not able to run your code I would suggest you to try get the selected Items in FormView1_ItemUpdating not in FormView1_DataBound. handler.

Let me know the result.

Thank you for the code,

I will run it and let you know what is going on.

I'll actually attach the code this time (sorry)..

Attached is my page and masterpage. I'm trying is a couple of places in the vb code to cycle through the items collection to see which items are selected - the only item I ever see selected is the one I selected on load. The selectedItems collection only shows the single item as well. This is after I run in debug mode, open the page, and make multiple selections on the webdropdown.

After fighting with the project upgrade add-in which doesn't work and doesn't create a log, I used the Project Upgrade Utility (stand-alone) and have upgraded the project to 2009.2, and my 2009.2 apparently has the 20092_SR_2025 patch installed.

Same problem.

I'll post code shortly.
