DataGrid and DropDownList

[LoneKawboy]

I have a DataGrid with a ItemTemplate column that contains a DropDownList that I am dynamically adding items to via the ItemDataBound function and a DataTable. The user then selected from the drop down list for each row and then clicks a save button that posts back. Upon the post back all view state information for the drop down lists is gone. How can I maintain this information on the post back so that I know which item the user selected in each row?

Hi there, You should bound the data for your datagrid from the OnInit function instead of the OnLoad function.

Hi there, Do you by any chance bind data to the datagrid control every time the page is visited? Perhaps, posting a snippet of sample code may help.

This will probably solve the problem Wrap your databinding in a if(!IsPostBack) clause
