Hi, The question is not clear buddy. What I understand you need to dispaly all or particular user information on page load. Example 1 : protected void DropDownList1_DataBound( object sender, EventArgs e) { DropDownList1.SelectedValue // store it in some variable } Reference : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5961488/how-can-i-get-the-selected-item-of-a-dropdownlist-the-first-time-my-page-loads https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/DataBinding-DropDownList-Label-and-Textbox-Controls-in-ASP.Net.aspx

hi umair, if you wanted to select gender coming from database as Male, female, these are your items in your dropdown then you can bind as follows ddlgender.SelectedItem=gendercomingfromdbr; if gender coming from database are in your dropdown values then ddlgender.SelectedValue=gendercomingfromdbr;
