Solution 1

Make sure you put that code inside of

C#

if (!IsPostBack)
{

}

because you are probably databinding your dropdown everytime the page posts back. That will cause you to lose the selected value.

If your page getting postback,you have set ddlPriority1.SelectedIndex = (0); in your code.

Try this may be helpful for you.

if (!IsPostBack)
{
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(cn.ConnectionStrings);
con.Open();
string bind = "SELECT [PriId],[Priority] FROM [WebCrm].[dbo].[tbl_Priority]";
adp = new SqlDataAdapter(bind, con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
adp.Fill(dt);
ddlPriority1.DataSource = dt;
ddlPriority1.DataValueField = "PriId";
ddlPriority1.DataTextField = "Priority";
ddlPriority1.DataBind();
ddlPriority1.Items.Insert(0, "Select");
ddlPriority1.SelectedIndex = (0);
con.Close();
}
