DropDownList Issue

[zezu10]

I currently have a DropDownList that I have populated through a StoredProcedure.It populates ok, however, when I seleted an item down the list, it always returns the one at the top?Could anyone give me any idea of what may be causing this?

	Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load		'Put user code to initialize the page here		FillDealerDDL()	End Sub	Sub FillDealerDDL()		Dim GetReader As New GeneralReaderQuery(Constants.LiveGVP, "GetVehiclesFillDDL1")		Me.ddlDealerName.DataSource = GetReader.FetchReader		Me.ddlDealerName.DataTextField = "DealerName"		Me.ddlDealerName.DataValueField = "DealerName"		Me.ddlDealerName.DataBind()	End Sub

It is because you are filling the DDL on page_load. When you select an option I assume you have it set to autopostback, this reloads the DDL and selects item 1.Change your code to reflect this

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load		If Not IsPostBack Then			 'Put user code to initialize the page here			 FillDealerDDL()		End If	End Sub
