DropDownList "SelectedIndexChanged" event

[Greg Smith]

I am working on my first web app. The SelectedIndexChanged event for the
DropDownList control doesn't seem to fire when the item is changed.
Obviously there is something more I need to do. Can anybody fill me in?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. You need to set the autopostback on the listbox
control parameters. You need to send the page back to the server to
respond to the event.

You would think this would happen automatically with the event but it
doesn't. Apparently it is intended to leave that processing control in
your hands to determine when to cause an autopostback.....

Hope this helps move you on your way....

Opps! just ran into another problem. I am loading the DropDownList in the
Page_load event. When I click on the control it posts back and fires the
page_load event and I double up on the items listed in the control. If I
put a "Clear" in there first then it looks fine but I have lost my
selection. It is back at an index of 0;

Is there a better way of doing this?

Hi Greg,

You can determine if the the page is postback or not, and then deside if
add the items again. For example:

If not IsPostBack then
...

End If
