I am using a datasource that queries a database to populate my dropdwon list. After an item has been selected a repeater is populated on the value of this selection. The dropdownlist is set to autopostback. I want the repeater to be populated but the dropdownlist to be set back to "Please select".

 I have set the enableViewState to false but the value is still retained.

 Has anyone any ideas?

 Thanks

Thanks Fredrik.

 I used the ClearSelection method and it worked a treat.

Hello

I´m using a datasource to populate my dropdownlist.

My query results has this face:

id          |             data

And my dropdownlist has this face:

data1
data2
data3
data4

My problem is: I want my dropdownlist with this face:

Select Your Data
data1
data2
data3
data4

The 'Select Your Data' text cannot be a query result. I made it in code behind using collections lists. Does have another way to do it?

You could try this:

Make sure the AppendDataBoundItems = "true" is set, that way the data bound items will appear after the Select your data item

<asp:DropDownList ID="DDList" AppendDataBoundItems="True" runat="server" Width="152px" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="Data Text" DataValueField="Data Value">

<asp:ListItem Text="Select Your Data" />

</asp:DropDownList>
