Help on DropdownList

[Byock]

I have a problem with my dropdownlist...The selectedvalue doesn't change...

In my page_load, i have already written the code that will populate the dropdownlist inside the 'if not ispostback then' blocks....

and i have set the autopost property of my dropdownlist to true...


And still, teh selectedvalue is always = 1...why is that?


Anybody please help me....

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here


If Not IsPostBack Then
PopulateDropdownlist()
End If

Dim strFormat As String

If DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "1" Then
strFormat = "mp3"
ElseIf DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "2" Then
strFormat = "wma"
ElseIf DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "3" Then
strFormat = "aac"
End If

End Sub
