ddlCountry as a selected value which is invalid because it doesnot exsits in the list parameter: value

here R.H.S should be countryId but you assigning name right so change it.

Ramug10 4-Mar-14 9:07am

is "gvCountry.SelectRow.Cells[1].text" this countryid or name?

Muhamad Faizan Khan 4-Mar-14 9:14am

name

get countryId from gridview(define one hiddenfield for countryid in gridview and read this hiddenfield in code) and assign the value to ddlCountry.SelectedValue.
