Re: dropdownlist

As your error message suggests, you cannot have multiple items selected on a Dropdownlist. You can set only one ListItem's Selected property to true, which will be the default selected Item of your Dropdownlist. Your Dropdownlist should be something similar like this:

ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem Selected="True">Anually</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Monthly</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Weekly</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Daily</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem Selected="True">Anually</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Monthly</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Weekly</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Daily</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
