DropDownList Session

[jumblesale]

Hello,
I have a dropDownList which I have added to a session and am retrieving
to save on server hits.
The problem is that when I pull the dropdownlist out of the session, it
does so, but displays nothing on the screen.
I am doing so like this:
ddlExam = (DropDownList)Session["ddlExam"];

Any ideas? I've seen a similar question re: caching a dropdownlist and
am aware I could add an array of the values to the session and bind it
each time, but I would prefer to do it this way and am curious why it
doesn't work.

Thanks in advance,
Max

It seems that you have to databind de drop,

ddlExam = (DropDownList)Session["ddlExam"];
ddlExam.DataBind();
