DropDownList Item Selected doesn't work?

Hi,

I seem unable to set the selected item in a DropDownList by using the
following code, it always return the toppest (index 0) item, no matter what
i selected.

list.DataSource = GetProductDataS ource();
list.DataBind() ;
item = list.Items.Find ByValue("UMTS") ;
if(item != null)
item.Selected = true;
I steped into the code, and I'm sure that item has been set to true, but the
page still return the toppest item. Anyone can help??
