Drop Down List Value

[Jim318]

Hello,

I have a drop down list that reads its items from a database. Once the drop down list value is changed it is fine until the user goes to save the record, then the list value reverts back to the first selection in the drop down box.

Thanks in advanced for any help!

You need to post the code. Sounds to me like your doing the databinding for the drop down at every page load, when you should only be doing it if not page.ispostback

Mark,

You are right. I am doing the data binding for every page load.

A quick snipet of what I was doing is
adocon.Open()
lstreq.DataSource = Cmd.ExecuteReader
lstreq.DataMember = "Requesters"
lstreq.DataTextField = "Name"
lstreq.DataValueField = "Name"
lstreq.DataBind()
adocon.Close()

Thanks,
Jim

Well, I don't know if you figured this out from your reply, but if you put that code inside a

If not page.ispostback then
...your code
end if

it should solve the problem, I think.
