Your logic for cascading is not clear to me.
1. Any specific reason why you chose to use 'selected index & selectedtext'?
2. your code sample never filters based on previous one. They look totally independent.

Change your code like

ddlsociete.SelectedIndex = ddlsociete.Items.IndexOf(ddlsociete.Items.FindByText("sapmleofSociete"));
 
Fillddlba(); 
ddlba.SelectedIndex = ddlba.Items.IndexOf(ddlba.Items.FindByText(("sampleOFba")));


void Fillddlba()
{
// write here code to fill items on second dropdown base on selected value of first dropdown
}

hope this will work for you otherwise let me know.
