Well virgil...
	At times .Net works weired... and breaks our head.... for some
similar reasons it works fine in some pages but not in other pages.. but
......As far u have explained, every thing should work fine the same way as
other pages... but still pls tell me whether if u have added the dropdown
during run-time or during development time... In both the case.. check if u
have set the contrls viewstate propery to true.... and check while debugging
if the codes written inside the 'If not Me.IsPostBack Then..' is being
executed... always the best way to debug during such times is to run the
code line by line and having a 'watch' set for the controls property....

keep me posted if u still have issues...

Subject: [aspx] Issues with ViewState


Group,

First thank you to everyone who helped me with the issue of trying to find a
way to measure user bandwidth.  We ended up not having to do it, instead
going with a user selection dialog box (got to love those clients that
change their mind every 10 minutes :)).  

Now I have the weirdest problem.  On a site I am working on I have two drop
down menus for registration page and when the registration page is submitted
for some reason it is not holding the drop down list Selected Item state,
thus putting the "Select One" (first item) into the database.

I have the DropDownList populating via the Page_Load function, but I have it
covered in a "If Not IsPostBack" statement.  I have this on other pages on
other sites and it works fine, but on this page I cannot get the viewstate
to maintain for the dropdownlists.  Any ideas?

The only thing different I am doing from other similar pages is I am sending
the data into the database via a Stored Procedure, but I cannot think of how
that could cause an issue.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Tx,
