0	u have to expose dropdown's properties like SelectedValue or selectedindex or any other property through public properties then you can use it in your page . for ex. Create this property in code behind of your usercontrol to Set or access dropdownlist's selected value public string SelectedValue { get { return ddlName.SelectedValue; } set { ddlName.SelectedValue = value; } } this way you can create a read-write or read only properties to set or access the dropdown list's values Kind Regards, Jay Shivamthinks, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
