I have corrected the question formatting as much as I could, but from the English perspective, it is still a mess. Please update your question to make it easier to understand.

Looks like you forgot to put your dropdown bind code in Page.IsPostback property. If you do not do this then on every post back, dropdown will rebind and get reset to first value.

Do:

C#

if(!IsPostback)
{
   // dropdown bind code
}
