The code could look something like this.

Here is a sample of loading the dropdowns ...

cboMonths.Items.Add(New LisItem("January", "1"))
cboMonths.Items.Add(New LisItem("February", "2"))
cboMonths.Items.Add(New LisItem("March", "3"))
' etc ...

' I USUALLY use a loop to create this ...
cboYears.Items.Add(New ListItem("2003"))
cboYears.Items.Add(New ListItem("2002"))
cboYears.Items.Add(New ListItem("2001"))
' etc ...

I like to write functions to make the job easier ...

Public Sub SelectDate(ByRef Month As DropDownList, ByRef Year As DropDownList, ByVal someDate As Date)

    Dim li As ListItem
    li = Month.Items.FindByValue(someDate.Month.ToString)
    If Not li Is Nothing Then li.Selected = True

    li = Year.Items.FindByValue(someDate.Year.ToString)
    If Not li Is Nothing Then li.Selected = True

End Sub

Using the function to select todays date ...

Call SelectDate(cboMonths, cboYears, Date.Now)
