Selected Item On Bound DDL

[Randy Rubin]

Does anyone know how to Make an Item selected in a DropDownListBox when
Binding it to data. When it changes it populates another TextBox but the
DDLB does not retain it's selected value.

Thanks

Don't rebind the control during selected index changed. If you must, store
the selected value, rebind it, then reapply the selected value.

Still Not working.. Here is some code:
Sub Page_Load

If Not IsPostBack Then

lblNotes.Visible = True
txtNotes.Visible = False
btnUpdateNotes.Visible = False

Else
Session("ItemSel") = ddlItem.SelectedItem.Value
ddlItem.SelectedItem.Value = Session("ItemSel")
ddlItem.SelectedItem.Selected = True
End If
End Sub

I think you should move the first line of code below to
ddlItem_SelectedIndexChanged event handler and erase the other two lines,
UNLESS you really want to ddlItem's selected item change to something else
other than user clicked item.
