You can use like this, "DataList1" runat= "server" > "ddlCatName" runat= "server" AppendDataBoundItems= "true" AutoPostBack= "true" OnSelectedIndexChanged= "ddlCatName_SelectedIndexChanged" DataTextField= "Category_Name" DataValueField= "Category_ID" SelectedValue= ' ' DataSourceID= "objCategory" > "Please select a category.." Value= "Please select a category.." > Please note the objCategory objectdatasouce. Please add this datasource in your code with proper types. Now there will be some items in the dropdownlist [say, Red, Black, Green]. When datalist is bound to its datasouce, it will select the value from database [say Black] in the dropdownlist. Thanks.
