Bind a selected value from dropdownlist to gridview(urgent)

[nateraaaa]

protected void GridView1_RowUp dating(object sender, GridViewUpdateE ventArgs e)
{
string username = Session["UserName"].ToString();
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(c onnect);

string select = "Select CategoryType from CategoryDetails where CategoryName='" + struName + "'";
SqlDataReader dr = null;
SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand(sele ct, con);
con.Open();
dr = cmd1.ExecuteRea der();
while (dr.Read())
{
struName = dr[0].ToString();
}

Where is struName ever set? You have a select query where CategoryName is suppose to = struName but I never see struName set. The problem may be your query does not return anything so the dr.Read never has any rows making struName always = string.Empty or "". Have to debugged your code to verify that the code drops into your while loop and sets struName to a value?
