Hi Padvit. The secret to understanding this problem is to understand the Control Execution Lifecycle[^]. At runtime, at what point in the lifecycle are you adding your drop-down list?

Hi there I will detailly explain, the controls are added at design time. they are binded at runtime whats happening here is each time when I contact database and retrieve particular record the current value is not selected in dropdownlist. Padvit
