Don't know if you've set your DataValueField to the datatable's second column. On the other hand if you've set your DataTextField to it, try FindByText instead of FindByValue.

As a side note, try to quickwatch in the debugger, the value of the index you get.

Setting the property:

mydropdown.SelectedItem

or mydropdown.SelectedValue

Make sure you do this AFTER databinding the dropdown control.
