Hello friends,

i have a gridview in sample.aspx which contains name, mobile pickuparea etc. and Update linkbutton in Gridview.

when i click on linkbutton these values have to be saved in the respective controls.
Autopostback property of pickuparea is enabled and dropdownlists are binded in
(!ispostback) of the page_load event.

the problems comes with the follwoing area:

//Under row command:
   if (e.CommandName == "update")
{
 int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument) % GridView1.PageSize;
                GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[index];
//----------
//----------
Label lblPickuparea = (Label)row.FindControl("Label7");
ddlParea.SelectedItem.Text= lblPickuparea.Text;//Here selectitemtext value is 3

 ddlParea.SelectedValue = ddlParea.Items.FindByText(lblPickuparea.Text).Value;//here selected value is -1
}

So i want to get the selectedvalue as the selecteditem.text value.
Based on this i have to bind another dropdownlist.

I have done enableviewstate="true" of dropdownlist and page.

Please do help me.

Thanking you all.
