DropDownList in DataGrid

Hi, I have a datagrid and each column i have a dropdownlist. I am
populalting these dropdownlists in the itembound event. This part is
working fine. However, when i press the update link, and use the arg e
like this: CType(e.Item.Cells.Item(3).Controls(1),
DropDownList).SelectedItem.Text.Trim. The SelectedItem is always equal
the first item in the dropdownlist, not the one i highlighted. Does
anyone know why the dropdownlist is not returning the selected item?
Thanks.

Does each item have a unique value?

Yes it does, why should that matter? when an item is highlighted
shouldn't it return the selectedindex of the value regradless?

No, what gets posted is the value of the selected item. The dropdown then
finds the first item with that value, and that becomes the selected index.

In any case, that was the only guess I had given the information you posted.
