Accepted answer

Page_Load occurs before the selected index is set during postback. Try moving your second set of databinding code to a more appropriate place - maybe in the event handler that ddlCountry will be invoking (SelectedIndexChanged?)


There certainly seem to be a lot of hits on Google for "page_load SelectedValue", which all tend to indicate the value cannot be accessed during Page_Load.
