Hi Vivek,

Thanks for the guidance. It working well. But the thing is I want the listitem added permanently. The one give was temporary. Can you help me with this.

Thanks again.

When you say permanently, rather than temporary, do you mean each time the page is refreshed? If so, I think you might have to integrate using a database. If not, what do you mean "only temporary"...

Hi All,

I have another question here. I have done with the integration with database.
Now my ddlLevel dropdownlist have integration with 2 tables. First is ddlUserlevel table for list down the itemlist. Another is Staff table which is here it retrieve data from the table to dropdownlist.

The problem is when I try to view the the page where ddlLevel is, it prompt error
that
[HTML]'ddlLevel' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.
Parameter name: value [/HTML]

The other dropdownlist that im using this same above method got no problem. To solve the problem I went into table staff and change the data to UPPER CASE. Now it not prompt any error. But the question is how to solve the error without get to database to change data's CASE.

Thanks in advance,
