Adding AutoPostBack to a webcontrol

[Thomas Jespersen]

Hi

I have a webcontrol, which has a DropDownList and some other controls.

I want to enable AutoPostBack on the DropDownList, but can't figure out how
to do it.

I tried setting myDropDownlist.AutoPostBack = true, but it doesn't make any
differences.

What am I missing.

Are you setting the postback event on the Page Load method? Try adding it
at the control level on the page.

<dropdownlist autopostback=true id="ddl" runat="server" />

Hi

I do not have a page! It is a webcontrol in a control library (C# only), and
the control is created programmatically. That's my problem.

How do I set AutoPostBack on a control created programmatically?

You can turn on AutoPostBack in your control before or during your
control's Load event.

Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
MyBase.OnLoad(e)
myDropDownlist.AutoPostBack = true
End Sub
