Question

How do I pass a selected value from GridView to a DropDownList default value. The DDL always show the first item from the table. I want to be able to display the first item as the value from another GridView (selected Item).

Thank you in advance for your help.

On your DataGridview Event where you get the selected value add.

                    //YOur  Bindinding  on Dropdown
                    drpdown.DataSource = //;
                    drpdown.DataTextField = "YourTablecolumn";
                    drpdown.DataBind();

                    string gvalue = //gridselected value;
                    drpdown.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem(""+ gvalue +"", "0"));
                    drpdown.SelectedIndex = 0;

Hope this help.
