Hi Ankit,

you are taking data table from session each time but not actually updating it using Session["CurrentTable"]=dt; like:

```
protected void btndelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){    DataTable dt = new DataTable();    for (int i = 0;
i < listview1.Items.Count; i++)    {       
ListViewDataItem items = listview1.Items[i];        CheckBox chkBox = (CheckBox)items.FindControl("chkdel");        if (chkBox.Checked == true)        {            if (Session["CurrentTable"] != null)            {                dt= (DataTable)Session["CurrentTable"];               
dt.Rows.RemoveAt(i);               
Session["CurrentTable"]=dt;            }        }        else        {        }    }   
Session["CurrentTable"] = dt;   
listview1.DataSource = dt;   
listview1.DataBind();   
BindDataToGridviewDropdownlist();    
}
```
