i have a drop down list that populates data from sql table,what i want to do is that when ever the user cosses a value it takes him to hyperlink that shows a form,for example if he choose DFRS from the drop down list,it takes him to First.aspx page and so on with all the values and at the same time it saves a session with the name of that value,when clicking DFRS ,it saves a session "DFRS" to the other linked page....can u help me do that plz

Use the selectedindexchanged event of the dropdownlist. Grab the value and redirect as needed. Before you redirect, place the value in a session variable.
