I would make sure ViewState is enabled for the DropDownList. If you have
EnableViewState="False" for either the DropDownList or in the @Page
directive, it will reset it to the first item. We may be able to help more
if we saw your code.

you are probably binding in form onload. this overwrites the postback
value. if you are using viewstate , only bid is not a postback, if
viewstate is off (a good idea), databind in oninit.
