Yes you can refer to the items by index, and there is an indexer. Sometimes
the Command Window sucks...
Confirm that ((DropDownList)myControl).Items.Count is 2 and also confirm
that myIndex is 0 or 1.

you can refer to list items by index? Is there a work-around that will let
me access this by index? Or will this just be added to my "Why I Should Use
VB.NET Instead" list? :-)
