In selectedIndexchanged event you should have index of currently selected item. Check SelectedIndex property - does it point to currently selected item?

The SelectedItemIndex property will be the index of the currently selected item

Do you want the value or the index? These are two different things. Please clarify

I am concerned about selectedindex....if I change the item from dropdownlist it should change the selectedindex but it is giving me the the same index...
