Hi Guys,

I bet this is a simple question. I am trying to render a dropdown in a member profile editor. But when I load the page and try to render the control the list of items seems to be empty. So I cannot set the selected value. When the control is done rendering the items are there.

This is the code:

String controlType = Member.GetCurrentMember().getProperty(propertyType).PropertyType.DataTypeDefinition.DataType.DataEditor.Editor.GetType().ToString();
switch (controlType)
{
case "umbraco.editorControls.dropdown":
                    {
                        if (property.Value!=null)
                        {
                            ListItem li = ((dropdown)dataEditorControl).Items.FindByValue(property.Value.ToString());
                            if (li != null)
                            {
                                int i = ((dropdown)dataEditorControl).Items.IndexOf(li);
                                ((dropdown)dataEditorControl).SelectedIndex = i;
                            }
                        }
                    }
                    break;
}

My problem is just that at this point (in Page_Load) the Items collection is empty. I can see that the count property is 0. 

Is there some sort of late binding, or can anyone else offer a clue as to what is happening.

Thanks,
RasB
