Hi all expert,

I create one dropdownlist in asp.net and this dropdownlist will get data from database by using dataset. here is the code from get from datatset.

C#

TEST.Service ats = new TEST.Service();
DataSet dset =TEST.GetCustomerList();
this.tcustomer.DataSource = dset;
this.tcustomer.DataTextField = "name";
this.tcustomer.DataValueField = "code";
this.tcustomer.DataBind();

For this code, it will display all customers code and name into dropdownlist and the default customer name will be the first one(Customer A).
when i select customer E, the dropdownlist will automatic select to Customer A after i leave my mouse from it.
My question is How can i select any value from dropdownlist and it not select the first values?

Thanks

Try this code

C#

ds = BFField.BFActionCombo(CField);
dt = ds.Tables[0];
ddlAction.DataSource = dt;
ddlAction.DataValueField = dt.Columns["Value"].ToString();
ddlAction.DataTextField = dt.Columns["Description"].ToString();
ddlAction.DataBind();
ddlAction.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("--- Select ---", "0"));

Where are these codes? They should be in the code as below

if (! IsPostBack)
{

   //  first time the page is loaded.

}
