Are you trying to say that Drop down selected value is changed after clicking edit button in grid ?

if this is the case then you have to reassign the selected value of dropdown to present selected value after postback.

if not then please provide sample code of what are you trying to achieve..

Find the ListItem and highlight the BackColor or select the item

C#

protected void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){    
//Find element by Text or value    
ListItem lstItem = DropDownList1.Items.FindByText(TextBox1.Text);    
if (lstItem != null)    
  {        
   lstItem.Attributes.Add("style", "background-color:Red;");        
   //You can also select the item        
   //lstItem.Selected = true;    
  }
}
