emplo         


        

Answer 1

I suspect something is not right when you are saving to the db. Do i understand your steps as:

1. populate and bind
2. user selects and item, hit and save.. then you save in the db
3. now if you select another item it won't select?

got more code, especially when saving? where in your code are initializing and populating the bindinglist

Answer 2

In windows Appliation we use like this

 DDLChangeImpact.SelectedIndex = DDLChangeImpact.FindStringExact(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["tmchgimp"].ToString());
 DDLRequestType.SelectedIndex = DDLRequestType.FindStringExact(ds.Tables[0].Rows[0]["rmtype"].ToString());
