QUESTION: actually, there is no error but. As you see DropDownList ID="DropDownList1", it means there are 5 dropdownlists were created but all in the same id. and i need to request each dropdownlist value.

Answer
Hi

You can put in a repeater control to get the value or

You can create a javascript for each onselect you can find which drop down and store into a local hidden variable.

Once you run thru javascript you can get the value in you code once the user submit..

Happy programming!!
