Are you calling FillDropDown() in the Page_Load event handler? if so does it look like this:

Hi,

thanks for your immediate reply, i have called the fill dropdown method in page load but same problem continuing, could you please give some solution for this

Thanks.

1. Why hit database when you already have the data in the drop down.
2. DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text is the 'Description' DropDownList1.SelectedValue is the 'Code'.
