Hello all,
I'm new to ASP.Net (using 2010 pro version) and I have a problem with ASP.NET that is giving me fits trying to solve it.
I am trying to catch the SelectedIndexChanged event on the ddlParent DropDownList and use it's SelectedValue in code behind to repopulate the ddlChild DropDownList.
I've distilled it down to some very simple test code and I'd appreciate some understanding of why this is not working as expected and what I should do to make it work (In VB please).
I get the following compiler error:
Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'ddlParent_SelectedIndexChanged' is not a member of 'ASP.test_aspx'.
Test Case code follows:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="True" CodeBehind="Test.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebApplication2.Test" %>
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp
ropDownList ID="ddlParent" runat="server"
AutoPostBack="True"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlParent_SelectedIndexChanged"
style="display: inline;">
<asp:ListItem Text="-- Select --" Value="0" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Parent #1" Value="1" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Parent #2" Value="2" />
</aspropDownList>
<br />
<aspropDownList ID="ddlChild" runat="server"
style="display: inline;">
</aspropDownList>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Public Class Test
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private Sub ddlParent_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
If Not ddlChild Is Nothing Then
ddlChild.Items.Clear()
Select Case sender.SelectedValue
Case 1
ddlChild.Items.Add(New ListItem("Parent 1 Choice 1", 11))
ddlChild.Items.Add(New ListItem("Parent 1 Choice 2", 12))
Case 2
ddlChild.Items.Add(New ListItem("Parent 2 Choice 1", 21))
ddlChild.Items.Add(New ListItem("Parent 2 Choice 2", 22))
End Select
End If
End Sub
End Class
Code will work correctly if I remove OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlParent_SelectedIndexChanged" from ddlParent
control and add a Handles clause to ddlParent.SelectedIndexChanged event in code behind like so:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="True" CodeBehind="Test.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebApplication2.Test" %>
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<aspropDownList ID="ddlParent" runat="server"
AutoPostBack="True"
style="display: inline;">
<asp:ListItem Text="-- Select --" Value="0" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Parent #1" Value="1" />
<asp:ListItem Text="Parent #2" Value="2" />
</aspropDownList>
<br />
<aspropDownList ID="ddlChild" runat="server"
style="display: inline;">
</aspropDownList>
</form>
</body>

To Further complicate the issue, I want to put both DropDownLists in a FormView (in my real code they are databound).
When I put them in a Formview, the Handles clause no longer works and I still can't add the OnSelectedIndexChanged attribute to ddlParent without getting the same

I just can't seem to catch the SelectedIndexChanged event for the DropDownLists if I put the DropDownLists in a FormView.
What am I missing here? Seems like this should be dirt simple to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
