  firing an event in dropdown list

  Aug 04, 2003 07:41 PM|LINK

  I have a dropdown list on a web form. I want to be able to populate the page based upon the value of the "selectedValue". In ASP I would have an onchange event in the control. In ASPX I can see an event associated with the dropdown, "dropdown_SelectedIndexChanged". When I run the page nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way? I even tried to use the OnSelectedIndexChanged event in the HTML but with the same results. TIA enak

  Can you post the code - also please ensure that you are binding to the selection list in a if (!IsPostBack) condition - something as follows

  if (!IsPostBack) {
     //databinding code for selection list
  }

  Hope that helps Kashif

  Set the AutoPostBack property of your DropDownList control to true.
