In no way does that vague sentence explain to us what it is that you have tried or what the problem is with what you have tried.

You can Select the item you want in following ways,

dropdownlist.Items.FindByValue("Value").Selected = true;

or

SQL

dropdownlist.SelectedIndex =
    dropdownlist.Items.IndexOf(dropdownlist.Items.FindByValue("Value"))
