Have you checked your page_load method contains any (!IsPostBack) property?

This is happening just because you bound your dropdownlist in Page_Load event directly. Try binding your DropDownList like this:

C#

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    if(!IsPostBack)
    {
        DropDown1.DataSource = YourDataSource;
        DropDown1.DataTextField = "YourDataTextField";
        DropDown1.DataValueField = "YourDataValueField";
        DropDown1.DataBind();
    }
}
