Are you binding DropDownList in page_Load() event if yes then bind like this-
if(!IsPostBack)
{
//Bind DropDownList
}
2nd thing after setting value for dropdownList check are you rebinding again id yes then it may be possible that value is replacing,

Hi,
In your dropdownlist declaration:
<ASP:DropDownList ID="ddlCustomer" runat="server" CssClass="StylDropDownList1" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1"
DataTextField="Name" DataValueField="ID" >
<asp:ListItem Value="0" meta:ResourceKey="Choose" Selected="True"></asp:ListItem>
</ASP:DropDownList
you have set to keep selected the Choose value that is the 0 (zero) index value.
You shared with us, "when I save the selected value in the DB correctly I wish to display it
in dropdown list control I do like the following in the page Load:"
if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
if(Mode == "Edit")
{
FillData(int.Parse(ID));
}
}
And here is the problem, the FillData() method would be call if the Page is not posted back to the server. But for saving the selected values in database, the page is already posted back to the server. So I think the FillData() would not get chance for execution anyhow.
I think you are saving selected value in querystring ID as
string ID = Request.QueryString["ID"];
So we can modify our code as:
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(ID))
{
if(Mode == "Edit")
{
FillData(int.Parse(ID));
}
}
Now I hope it would work. Let us know the action result.

Hi Frndz,
Functionality: Set DropDown Value
To achieve this task,
When you assign Dropdown value then first you need to set SelectedIndex value is -1
ddlCustomer.SelectedIndex = -1;
Chnage your FillData Logic as following way
Logic ::
protected void FillData(int Id)
{
devMngr = new DeviceManager().GetByID(Id);
if (devMngr != null)
{
ddlCustomer.SelectedIndex = -1;
ddlCustomer.SelectedValue = devMngr.CustomerID.ToString();//the value from data base is 12;
}
}
Hope this helpful!
Thanks

DropDownList als EditItemTemplate im GridView das an eine ObjectDataSource gebunden ist .NET Framework
Hi! Wir haben hier größere Probleme mit einem DropDownList Server Control. In einem GridView werden Werte angezeigt, die aus einer ObjektDataSource stammen. Im Edit-Modus muss eines der Felder eine DropDownList anzeigen. Das DropDownList Server Control wird aus einem Bind-Ausdruck im Markup der Seite gespeist: DataSource = "<%# GetGesellschaften() %> GetGesellschaften liefert eine ListItemCollection. Bei der Erzeugung der ListItemCollection wird jedes ListItem mit einem Text und einem Value versehen. Das erste Problem besteht nun darin, dass im gerenderten HTML sowohl Text als auch Value auf die Text-Eigenschaft des ListItem eingestellt sind. Der Wert der Value-Eigenschaft geht irgendwie verloren. Als Folgefehler kann das SelectedValue der DropDownList nicht auf den Wert der Daten in der aktuellen Spalte des GridView eingestellt werden und
I've got an ObjectDataSource populating a GridView control. One of the fields in the gridview is a TemplateField with a dropdownlist in the EditItemTemplate. How do I get the selected value from the dropdownlist to the ObjectDataSource to use as a parameter for a command? . . in the SDK: [CODE] <%@ Page language = "C to the GridView1.SelectedValue and it will know that the value will be from the dropdownlist selected value. Because you make it seem a lot easier than what I just posted int index = AuthorsGridView.EditIndex; GridViewRow row = AuthorsGridView.Rows[index]; TextBox lastName = (TextBox)row.FindControl("LastNameTextBox"); DropDownList StateName = (DropDownList)row.FindControl("state_edit"); e.NewValues["au_lname"] = lastName.Text; e.NewValues["state_name"] = StateName.SelectedItem.Value.ToString
Display 2 Columns from a datasource in a DropDownList .NET Framework
Hi, Is it possible to DISPLAY 2 columns somehow in a dropdownlist? For example: DataField Value = bound to ProductId DataField Display = Product Name and Product Number Thanks for any tips. Frank ASP.NET Discussions ListItemCollection (1) DropDownList (1) SqlDataReader (1) ListItem (1) Database (1) other than using a fixedwidth font and spaces, no. you can build want to have for example Patrick For anyone else, my solution was to use an ObjectDataSource that pointed to a custom class and method which does the database access, then returns a collection of ListItems to be used by the DropDownList. While pulling the fields from the SqlDataReader, I built ListItems and set the ListItem.Text = sqlDataReader["field1"].ToString() + " " + sqlDataReader["field2"].ToString(); Then I set the value: myListItem.Value = "RowID"; Then add each ListItem to an ListItemCollection, and return that Collection to the ObjectDataSource. Works like a charm. Frank
