First find the asp:Content for dropdownlist and then check that EnableViewState property of the asp:Content is true. Also check that EnableViewState property of ContentPlaceHolder in master page. if its false then set true.

Set the AutoPostBack="True" of dropdown :)

I like to use the Init event to load data instead of the page load event, it helps to solve this kind of problem.
