Daniel,

I believe you want to make sure the page is not postback

Try
If Not Me.IsPostBack Then
ddlStateSelect.BorderStyle = ddlStateSelect.BorderStyle.NotSet
ddlStateSelect.BorderWidth = Unit.Pixel(2)
ddlStateSelect.BorderColor = Color.PowderBlue
ddlStateSelect.bind
End If
Catch ex As System.Exception
Throw some exception
End Try

I hope this helps
