ASP:RadioButtonList non unique values?

I've got a strange questions and more than likely a simple answer so here goes. I have created a few web forms that hook up with a table and save the values of the selected radiobuttonlists. In a few cases there may be a few listitems that have the same value but different text such as 

<asp:RadionButtonList runat="server" id="RadioButtonList1">
   <asp:ListItem Value="2">Yes</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="2">Of course</asp:ListItem>
   <asp:ListItem Value="0">No</asp:ListItem>
</RadioButtonList>

For the rest of the radiobuttonlist's where values are all unique I just fill them out with

me.RadioButtonList1.SelectedValue = dr("ValueA")

I have tried to save the selectedindex and fill it that way with

me.RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = dr("ValueAIndex")

But this just will go to the top listitem of that value rather than the correct one.

Any help would be awesome! Many thanks! Dan

Since the only unique item is the Text to search on, could you do:

 RadioButtonList1.SelectedIndex = 
     RadioButtonList1.Items.IndexOf(
         RadioButtonList1.Items.FindByText("ValueAText"));

Make sure to put in checks for FindByText failing.
