    You have to programatically set the selected value on each ddl. Something like this:

    ddlCountry.SelectedValue = "US";

    ddlState.SelectedValue = "IL";

    ddlCity.SelectedValue = "Chicago" ;

    Is this what you needed?

What i want is the selected city in gridview like Chicago for a particular row must be highlites value in the corresponding dropdownlist. but i dont know how to do dat. Below is the code,

    Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged

    Txtempid.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(0).Text

    Txtlname.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(1).Text

    Txtfname.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(2).Text

    ' Dddate.SelectedValue = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(3).Text

    Txtadd.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(4).Text

    ddcnt.SelectedIndex = ddcnt.Items.IndexOf(ddcnt.Items.FindByValue(    "GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(7).Text")) !!!!!!!!!! Here is the problem if i give chicago here it will highlight dat but how to do it wid grid

    Txtzipcod.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(8).Text

    Dddept.SelectedIndex = Dddept.Items.IndexOf(Dddept.Items.FindByValue(    "GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(9).Text"))

    TxtJobTit.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(10).Text

    TxtJobDesc.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(11).Text

    Txtwphn.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(12).Text

    Txtcphn.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(13).Text

    Txtemail.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(14).Text

    Txtfax.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(15).Text

    End Sub

     

    Thanx in advance

    I didn't understand. This is working, right? I have tested here and it works fine:

    DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = DropDownList1.Items.IndexOf(DropDownList1.Items.FindByValue(GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text));

    What is your error? What do you mean by: "but how to do it wid grid"?

     You need to update the method
    Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged

    to contain like

    DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = GridView1.SelectedIndex; 

    This line basically sets the selectedIndex of DropDownList to the selectedIndex of GridView.

     You need to substitute "dropdownlist1" & "gridview1" with the id's of the related dropdownlist & gridview you are using.

    Hi schauhan13,

    Try this:

    ddcnt.Text = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells(7).Text

    Thanks,
