And it was so urgent you forgot to ask a question in your haste? How is any of this a problem? Do you not know how to connect to your database (whatever it is)? Do you know know how to write a query? Do you not know how to execute a query?

string SqlConnect = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Connect"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection Sqlconn = new SqlConnection(SqlConnect);
SqlCommand sqlcomm = new SqlCommand("select * from Category", Sqlconn);
Sqlconn.Open();
SqlDataReader dr = sqlcomm.ExecuteReader();
if (dr.HasRows)
{

DropDownList1.DataSource = dr;
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "CatName";
DropDownList1.DataValueField = "Catid";
DropDownList1.DataBind();

ListItem c = new ListItem("Select Category", "0");
DropDownList1.Items.Insert(0, c);
ListItem d = new ListItem("Select Warranty", "0");
DropDownList2.Items.Insert(0, d);

dr.Close();
Sqlconn.Close();
}

Clear first..I m in Little bit confusion so clear first what u want exactly-->
You want display the current country name after load the page, as user choose at the time of registration. Which is save in database and also show append list of County name below it.

I Solved My Problem

On Page Load Event i Populated Dropdown with Countrylist
and
then i called a method on page load
which will select the value of counrty on the behalf of Session value

HTML

DropDownList1.SelectedValue = DropDownList1.Items.FindByText(dr["CountryName"].ToString()).Value;
