Hello Folks

I am having 3 textboxes and a dropdownlist in my webpage.Dropdownlist is binded to database which get values.I have set ddl autopostback property to true.After selecting one item the data related to that item must be displayed in the textbox.

But the problem here is if i try to select the vvalue in the ddl the value what i have selected is not displayed in the ddl it is showing the initial value means bindingagain in pageload.If i place (if!(ispostback)) property then second time when the page is autopostback then the items in the ddl are disappeared.May i know how to bind the DDl in the pageload to get my output please give me som useful links

What you describe sounds correct. You only need to databind once (not ispostback) like you are doing. If you are loosing the values, then there is something else wrong. Is the dropdownlist viewstate enabled? (Unless you DISabled it, it should be on, that's the default.) Paste the relevant bits of code relating to the ddl (markup and code-behind) and we'll take a look.
