dynamic listItems - event NOT fired

[preetith]

Hello,
Though there are numerous posts on this issue , there
are no answers at all to any of them !!
My Situation is , I have a dropdownlist that gets
populated on a button click event, this works fine but
when I select an item on this dropdownlist ,
SelectedIndexChanged event does not get fired.The reason
is that the dynamically created listitems are lost between
the posts ...Can someone provide a solution to my problem ?

thanks,
preeti

There are answers but people only say that because they are too lazy to
search for it. you must hook your event handler code in page load every
time. otherwise it won't behave right.

Can you show us the complete code that is failing?

Do you have autopostback set to true?
Are you mistakenly resetting the control on each postback?

Thanks Ken and Alvin for replying to my query.
I had done all that you both have mentioned but what I
missed was the uniqueID.My DDL is embedded within a TABLE
heirarchy and all the tables are not given uniqueIDs hence
the control's event did not get fired.Now am creating the
DDL dynamically and adding it to the tablecell and it
automatically receives a uniqueID and remembers it between
posts.
