Hi The question is not clear buddy. What I understand you need to dispaly all or particular user information on page load. Example 1 : protected void DropDownList1_DataBound( object sender EventArgs e) { DropDownList1.SelectedValue // store it in some variable } Reference : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5961488/how-can-i-get-the-selected-item-of-a-dropdownlist-the-first-time-my-page-loads https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/DataBinding-DropDownList-Label-and-Textbox-Controls-in-ASP.Net.aspx
