using umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory;

Node myNode = new umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node(rootNodeID);

// now do something with the node

Thanks for reply, but I really don't understand it. Isn't this line of code just creating a new node item? I just want to send the website to the page selected in a dropdown list. Just like clicking a link, but selectingi it from a dropdown list instead.

How about redirecting to the selected node in the onChange event of the DropDownList, like this:

protected void myDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  int nodeId;

  if(Int32.TryParse(myDropDownList.SelectedValue, out nodeId)) 
  {
    Response.Redirect(umbraco.library.NiceUrl(nodeId), false);
  }
}

Thanks Kenneth. Such a simple solution and worked a treat. Just what I needed.

Still learning I guess. :)

I have a C# user control for use in Umbraco 4. The dropdown list contains a list of nodeIDs

Could you plz post a sample of that usercontrol... - I'm struggeling with building exactly such a control: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/35452-Display-mediaFolderIds-in-a-usercontrol
