Question

I’ve an ASP.NET dropdown list and getting selected value by using the .SelectedValue. I also set this value in some cases by assigning to it. I seem to be randomly not getting this value set even when I choose the item from the drop down. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

Ideas?

I you are binding your data at Page_Load make sure you’re not re-binding by checking if page is post back.

if(!Page.IsPostBack){ /*bind data here*/ }
