If I understand the question correctly you need to do this:

ddlStateLegalRes.Items.FindByValue(sdr["STATEOFLEGALRESIDENCE"].ToString()).Selected = true;

hutchonoid thanks for your response can you please see my updated question and let me know if you could help?

I would move this List<StateList> states = ops.getStates(); to outside of the is not post back. I suspect that on post back u are not populating again.

The original question was answered, you should leave it as accepted. Create a new question & send me it pls.

Sorry hutchonoid last time I did that I got yelled at for not unaccepting the answer and editing the question that is the only reason I did that. But I will do it again and hope not to get yelled at again so many rules here hard to keep up :)
