I have a combobox filled with usernames from teh database. And i have a gridview that display's the comments from database depending what username was choosed from combobox

Is there a question hidden in there? Ill take a stab and guess you want to display the comments in the gridview based on what the end-user selects in the DDL. If that's the case simply put @field_name in you where clause of the datasource.

Example:

ddlUsername SQL- SELECT * from table
gridview SQL- SELECT user_comments from table where user_id = @user_id;

After you input the SQL for the gridview you will come to a screen where you define parameters (user_id). Set it to control & then select the name of your DDL.

If thats not what you were asking. Oh well.

i have this code.. but still when i change the value from th dll th data in the gridview does not change
