After bind the DropdownList with datatable, I set the Text of the DropdownList in code, if the Text match one of element of the datatable, the SelectedValue should changed at the same time, in my case, it is not, I need to click the DropdownList to change the SelectedValue. 

Anything I can do to sync the action that I get the right SelectedValue  when I set Text match one of element of the datatable?

Hi Ricardo,

This should work, please make sure that you are setting the text after the control is already loaded and the data source is set. 

Another approach is to directly set the selected value: 
public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    radDropDownList1.ValueMember = "Name";
    radDropDownList1.DisplayMember = "Name";
    radDropDownList1.DataSource = GetTable();
}
private void RadButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    radDropDownList1.SelectedValue = "Sam";
}

I hope this helps.  

Regards,
Dimitar
