Hi,

In my aspx page the DropdownList Items are getting binded when the page is not post back(first time loading) but when I clicked any button like (save ,edit)( all the drop down List items are getting Cleared.

can any one plz help, am i missing any settings for the dropdown list.

I put

Page.EnableViewState = true;

above the If(!ispostback)

The code inside the If(!IsPostback)
is

Parameters param = new Parameters();
DataSet datasetddlInternetwght = new DataSet();
datasetddlInternetwght = param.GetDDLListInternetWght();
ddlIntrntweight.DataTextField = datasetddlInternetwght.Tables[0].Columns["paramname"].ToString();
ddlIntrntweight.DataValueField = datasetddlInternetwght.Tables[0].Columns["paramvalue"].ToString();
ddlIntrntweight.DataSource = datasetddlInternetwght;
ddlIntrntweight.DataBind();

where Parameters is a class in a separate .cs file. I am getting the Data binded when the Page is loaded for the first time but when any button got clicked the items in the Drop down list(ddlIntrntweight) are getting cleared. i enabled the View state for the Drop down list;

Please make sure the follow steps:

1) Bind the drop down like

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
       {
           ddlIntrntweight.DataSource = SqlDataSource1;
           ddlIntrntweight.DataBind();
       }

2) Make sure

AutoPostBack="True"

3) Make sure

EnableViewState="True";

When you clicked any button of your web page, each time PAGE_LOAD event get called.

what you have written in your PAGE_LOAD() do add the that code under if not post back.

if(! isPostBack)
{
  //Page load code here
}

Hope it helps

if(! isPostBack)
{
  //I think you put your code here and set the EnableViewState property false;
  //set the EnableViewState property true or dont put your code here.
}

Another place this can get set is on the markup in the ASPX...

<%@ Page Title="" ViewStateMode="Enabled" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Default.Master" AutoEventWireup="true"
