This should be an easy stuff to do.
In the ddlState SelectedIndexChanged event set the SelectedValue property of ddlCountry with the value from your State table which stores countryname/countryid.

Share the relevant code.

protected void ddlState_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int M_STATE_SLNO = Convert.ToInt16(ddlState.SelectedValue);
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnection);
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from M_COUNTRY where M_COUNTRY_CODE=" +M_STATE_SLNO, con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
ddlCountry.DataSource = ds;
ddlCountry.DataTextField = "M_COUNTRY_NAME";
ddlCountry.DataValueField = "M_COUNTRY_CODE";
ddlCountry.DataBind();
ddlCountry.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
ddlCountry_SelectedIndexChanged(null, null);

}

On the changed event of the state dropdown get the selected state and retrieve the county that state is in (how you do that depends on your database schema and what database access technology you're using, which you haven't detailed). You should now have the data you need to populate the country dropdown. You might additionally need to load all countries to populate the country drop down, or you might also then want to retrieve all states in the selected country too. You haven't really explained the business logic fully.

If you're done it one way you should be able to do it the other so you might have to paste the code you're trying.

Actually i did the same..But the out put was something else..
protected void ddlState_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int M_STATE_SLNO = Convert.ToInt16(ddlState.SelectedValue);
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnection);
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from M_COUNTRY where M_COUNTRY_CODE=" +M_STATE_SLNO, con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds);
con.Close();
ddlCountry.DataSource = ds;
ddlCountry.DataTextField = "M_COUNTRY_NAME";
ddlCountry.DataValueField = "M_COUNTRY_CODE";
ddlCountry.DataBind();
ddlCountry.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
ddlCountry_SelectedIndexChanged(null, null);

}

You don't need to call the event handler of ddlCountry, that may reset the selection in State dropdown. Further you seem to have other problems too.
You are trying to filter country by stateid.
Check this-
C#
protected void ddlState_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   int M_STATE_SLNO = Convert.ToInt16(ddlState.SelectedValue);
   SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(strConnection);
   con.Open();
   SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from M_COUNTRY where M_COUNTRY_CODE=(SELECT M_COUNTRY_CODE FROM M_STATE WHERE M_STATE_CODE="+M_STATE_SLNO+")", con); //Assuming coulmns names and table names as such for State table
   SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
   DataSet ds = new DataSet();
   da.Fill(ds);
   con.Close();
   ddlCountry.DataSource = ds;
   ddlCountry.DataTextField = "M_COUNTRY_NAME";
   ddlCountry.DataValueField = "M_COUNTRY_CODE";
   ddlCountry.DataBind();
   //ddlCountry.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--Select--", "0"));
   //ddlCountry_SelectedIndexChanged(null, null);
}


Hope, it helps :)
