Thread: get combobox value for if statement

I am trying to get a drop-down to show when the value in state is set to Ohio. I have it working when I do the event once the page is loaded (i.e. click state and choose Ohio). I want it to automatically show the _cboCounty on page load if the value of the state from the database is Ohio. I tried the following code in the SetDefaults() in AddressControl.cs but with no luck:

Code:

if (_cboState.DataValueField == "OH")
            {
                ShowCounty = true;
            }
            else
            {
                ShowCounty = false;
            }

When I am trying to set the ShowCounty = true; in SetDefaults(), does my if statement not know what the value is until the page is fully loaded because this works fine in my OnSelectedStateChanged() function?

Code:

if (_cboState.SelectedValue == "OH")
            {
                ShowCounty = true;
            }
            else
            {
                ShowCounty = false;
            }

Does anyone know where the default values from the db are set to the drop-downs for the address information (shipping/billing)?

Those dropdowns are created & populated in Address.InputHTML (source code required, in the ASPDNSFCore project).

Is this the same spot where values are set when the pages loads from the db for customers who are logged in?

it should be the same code yes

The code in Address.cs only seems to output the option values for when a person is registering the first time. I can't seem to find where the option values are populated from for address.aspx when a person is already registered and just modifying their address or adding an additional one. Any ideas?
