ASP.Net DropDownList SelectedIndex Is Not Changing

In some situation, the dropdownlist selected Item or Index will be always the first Item. We can get this Issue when we bind the dropdownlist after the button click postback

This is because, On Asp.Net Life Cycle, the Postback Event comes after the PageLoad Event.. And In each Page Load, the Dropdownlist will get refreshed.. Hence after Page Load, on Postback Event, the Selected Item will be the first one.


How To Resolve This Issue?

In order to resolve this Issue, we have prevent loading the dropdownlist on postback.
We have to use IsPostback property in Asp.Net for this purpose as shown below.
If(! IsPostBack)
{
     Bind your dropdownlist here.
}



By this way we can resolve this issue.
