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;

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
}

hey there !

The question is not clear here, you have to a littlebit more precise what you are asking for ? May be you are asking for cascading dropdownlist - here is the source you can check that :

Hope that helps!
