Dropdownlist Reset SelectedValue

Question

I have a DropDownList connected to an ObjectDataSource. In my page load i set the selectedvalue to a specific value depending on the case. How can I in my method selectedindexchanged "reset" the selectedvalue so you still can choose from the other options? Or should I not use selectedvalue to set the defaultvalue of the dropdownlist?

 <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList" runat="server" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource" DataTextField="Type" DataValueField="TypeId" 
    AutoPostBack="true" onselectedindexchanged="DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged" >
            </asp:DropDownList>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        int default = category.TypeId;
        DropDownList.SelectedIndex = default;

}

protected void DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    int id = int.Parse(DropDownList.SelectedValue);
    Session["id"] = id;
}

Answer 1

You can use ClearSelection method for Dropdown list

DropDownList.ClearSelection();
