Insertion from DropDownList

[Banjo Ayorinde]

I fill a dropdownlist with values from a table's column. but when i perform an insertion operation into another table based on selected data from the dropdownlist, it only insert the first value of the dropdownlist and not the one i selected. How do i resolve this?

Yea! have used selectedValue property, but still pick the fisrt value and not the selected value during insertion. pls this only affect dropdownlist filled with values from a table and not that of hardcoded values

you probabaly need to check the post back ispostbak property because every time you change the selection of the dropdown it is refreshing that is why you get the same data.try if not ispostback option
