title: asp.net dropdown list findbytext
body: <p>I am using the following to select have the dropdown list select an item from the list:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    ddlIndustry.Items.FindByText("Trucking").Selected = true;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there another logic for doing this.</p>
  
  <p>I noticed if I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   ddlIndustry.Items.FindByText("Trucking").Selected = true;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and then down the code do something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   ddlIndustry.Items.FindByText("Cards").Selected = true; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get an error saying cannot select multiple items. </p>
