this.Dropdownlist not working

I added a textbox to a c# page and can access it with code behind but added a
dropdown list by draging it on the page from the toolbar but when typing
this. the dropdown id is not selectable and I can not access any of its
attributes.

Software engineer.assuming this is 1.x, you'll need to go in our codebehind, expand the
desiner region and add

protected DropDownList controlId;

like

protected DropDownList States;

you should see other similar controls there..

ok thanks for the reply. I thought all of that code was generated
automatically when you put the control on the form.
