Hi,

Your problem is in this code:

> For i = 0 To StateCode.Items.Count - 1
> Dim Statechk As String = StateCode.Items(i).Value
> Dim chk = StateCode.DataValueField
> If Statechk = customerDetails.State Then
> StateCode.SelectedItem.Selected = True
> End If
> Next

The line below doesn't do anything new. It is constantly setting the
selected item to be selected again.

StateCode.SelectedItem.Selected = True

You would want to do something like this in its place:

StateCode.Items(i).Selected = True

Good luck! Ken.
