Problem with Dropdownlist returning default value?

I am new in ASPNET. I am having a problem returning a default value for a dropdownlist. When a user select another value for example

(Names- Value)Private - 1; Friends - 2; Public - 3; (not binded to database but hard coded)

When a user select a value and saved it to a database. How can I return a new dafault value for a dropdown?

I tried

dropdownlist1.selectedvalue = 2 (code behind)

and still the dropdownlist view Private instead of Friends.

What will be the solution to this scenario? Please help

Kind Regards Jake

This is entirely from my memory, but I believe that ".SelectedValue" actually requires the value, not the index. So you could try dropdownlist1.selectedvalue="Friends - 2". Or you could try dropdownlist1.items.findbyvalue("Friends - 2") in combination with dropdownlist1.selectindex(). Hope some part of that helps!
