Hi,
I have 2 DropDownLists and a Button on a simple aspx page. connecting to an oracle database. The 1st DropDownList1 gets filled on page load.
When I select an item from the DropDownList1 the 2nd DropDownList2 get populated with the related records but the 1st DropDownList1 looses its selected item and moves the selection to the 1st item in the list and changes its selected index value to 1.
Anyone has any idea, how to keep the selected item retain its selected index value in the DropDownList1?
here is the code for aspx page.
Here is the code for code behind c# page:
