Question

in page_load I fill a drop down with values from db.

by clicking a button I like to insert the selected value of the dropdown into my db.

but because of the page load the selected value is resetted and in my db there is always the default value.

hmmm how solve this?

thanks

Answer 1

try like…

if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        //fill your dropdownlist here

    }

As your page is postback, when you hit button and your dropdown again populated and you need to restrict this by putting postback check.
