Hello Seema,

If you refresh or rebind the GridView, it will everytime reset the selected value. If you want to retain it, just check what are the items you need to update rather than refreshing the whole data.

hi seema,
I write some codes:

In Html Page:

<asp:gridview runat="server" id="GridView1" autogeneratecolumns="false" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
    <columns>
      <asp:templatefield headertext="Column1">
        <itemtemplate>
           <asp:dropdownlist runat="server" id="DropDownList1" width="150px/">
          <asp:hiddenfield runat="server" id="HiddenField1" value="<%#Bind("Column1") %"> />
        </asp:hiddenfield></asp:dropdownlist></itemtemplate>
      </asp:templatefield>
      <asp:boundfield datafield="Column2" headertext="Column2" />
      <asp:boundfield datafield="Column3" headertext="Column3" />
    </columns>
   </asp:gridview>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                BindGridView();
            }
        }

        private void BindGridView()
        {
            DataTable datatable = new DataTable();
            datatable.Columns.Add("Column1", typeof(System.String));
            datatable.Columns.Add("Column2", typeof(System.String));
            datatable.Columns.Add("Column3", typeof(System.String));

            datatable.Rows.Add("1", "2", "3");
            datatable.Rows.Add("4", "5", "6");

            this.GridView1.DataSource = datatable;
            this.GridView1.DataBind();

            foreach (GridViewRow GridViewRow1 in this.GridView1.Rows)
            {
                //find hiddenField and DropDownList by id
                HiddenField hiddenField1 = (HiddenField)GridViewRow1.FindControl("HiddenField1");
                DropDownList dropDownList1 = (DropDownList)GridViewRow1.FindControl("DropDownList1");
                if (hiddenField1 != null && dropDownList1 != null)
                {
                    dropDownList1.Items.Clear;
                    //bind dropDownList1
                    //.....
                    dropDownList1.SelectedValue = hiddenField1.Value;
                }
            }
        }


Hope make you understand.
