what is your question? can you make it more clear?

Solution 1

C#

string s = dr["Title"].ToString(); 
ddlTitle.SelectedText = s;

You can do it in one line, I just did it like that to make it easier to read. This will throw an error if the string s is not in the list.

Use selected value

ddlTitle.SelectedValue = dr["Title"].ToString();

change this line also
<asp:dropdownlist id="ddlTitle" runat="server" cssclass="csstextbox" xmlns:asp="#unknown">
                  <asp:listitem text="Mr." value="Mr."></asp:listitem>
                  <asp:listitem text="Mrs." value="Mrs."></asp:listitem>
                  <asp:listitem text="Miss." value="Miss.">Miss.</asp:listitem>
                  <asp:listitem text="Dr." value="Dr.">Dr.</asp:listitem>
</asp:dropdownlist>
