well, the title says it all,
and i am not a hero with webbased development

i got an dictionary thats been filled at the page_load :

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Dictionary<int, string> values = new Dictionary<int, string>();
    values.Add(0, "Value1");
    values.Add(1, "Value2");
    
    //crebotbox is a dropdownbox
    Crebotbox.DataSource = values;
    Crebotbox.DataTextField = "Value";
    Crebotbox.DataValueField = "Key";
    Crebotbox.DataBind();

}

and its suposed value must pass with the string query through the next page

C#

protected void submitbtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect(string.Format("~/testpage.aspx?curnmr={0}&crb={1}", Curnmrtbox.Text, Crebotbox.SelectedItem.Value));
}

but no matter wich value i select on the page itself, it just keeps pushing the first value of the dropbox

i have tried switching the Autopostback atribute but that was fruitless.

does someone have an idea?

Corrected your code....

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Dictionary<int,> values = new Dictionary<int,>();
    values.Add(0, "Value1");
    values.Add(1, "Value2");
    
    //crebotbox is a dropdownbox
    if(!Page.IsPostback)
    {
    Crebotbox.DataSource = values;
    Crebotbox.DataTextField = "Value";
    Crebotbox.DataValueField = "Key";
    Crebotbox.DataBind();

    } 
}
