when i select a username. then i want to select user's country name in dropdownlist.
Best and to be sure, it you need to capture the country of user when they register.
Thus, on login, you have details of the user captured earlier. Set the dropdown value of country as per captured earlier.

So steps:
1. While registering a username, capture country along with other details if any
2. At the time of login, find the country associated with the username
3. Use the country found for the username to set it in country dropdownlist

Try!

Thanks for reply,

But i found the solution of this. code is following

ddlCountry.SelectedIndex = ddlCountry.Items.IndexOf(ddlCountry.Items.FindByValue(countryname));

countryname is value which i want to set in dropdownlist.

I said the same thing! You have to have countryname somewhere, right?
