Please post the code showing how you are populating the dropdownlist.
Thanks

dropdownlist consists of
<asp:ListItem>Central Board Of Secondary Education
<asp:ListItem>TamilNadu Board Of Higher Secondary
<asp:ListItem>Matriculation Higher Secondary
<asp:ListItem>Anglo Indian

i already inserted the selected value (eg., Anglo Indian) in sql.
Another page has the selected values to be displayed in respective textboxes and dropdownlists.
Now i want Anglo Indian value from sql to be displayed first in the dropdown list
code : txtclass.SelectedValue = (objDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Class"]).ToString();

If you want to add elements by seprating with spaces then you can use String.split function and by seprating them by spaces you caan add them to dropdownlist

This answer does not relate to the question. That is exactly what sukumari1 doesn't want to do

There shouldn't be any issue with the

C#

txtclass.SelectedValue = (objDataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["Class"]).ToString();

, assuming that txtclass is actually a dropdownlist. Can you check that there are no rogue white spaces at the beginning or end of the list? The values should read <asp:ListItem>Anglo Indian</asp:ListItem>.
Any item you try to select with '.SelectedValue = ' must already be in the list and must be an exact match of the string between the tags
