ListItemCollection[index].Selected property not updating

[studen771]

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help :)

I have a custom control that includesa ListItemCollection property that
allows clients using it to dynamically add/remove/etc items just as you would
a normal ListBox.

However, my control uses the HtmlTextWriter to render an html <select> which
adds the ListItemCollection Items into it manually in the "RenderContents"
method.

When debugging the control, I'll add an item to the <select> element via the
NumberListCollection.Add property. After selecting one of the items and
having the list checked to see what was selected, it does not recognize it.

Should I be doing someting with the "selected" attribute of the select
element? I don't wanna use a ListBox server control either..

What's the key against which you are trying to get the data?
What do you mean when you say "it does not recognize it"?
Who is first "it"? What is the second "it"? How are you retrieving the data?

Do you have a 'name' attribute to the 'selected' element?

Just curious... the reason behind not using ListBox? You are anyway
duplicating the functionality... or as I generally say, "Reinventing the
wheel" once again!
