Hello, I have a webpage with 2 DDL controls. DDL1.SelectedValue = DDL2.DataValueField. Everthing works fine if I have DDL1 AutoPostBack checked. I would like to eliminate the postbacks. Below is my code. I do not know why it doesn't work.
Thanks! Steve
ProtectedSub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal senderAsObject,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
Dim strDataTextFieldAsString
DropDownList2.DataValueField = DropDownList1.SelectedValue
strDataTextField = DropDownList1.SelectedValue
strDataTextField = strDataTextField &"text"
DropDownList2.DataTextField = strDataTextField
EndSub

SelectedIndexChanged is a server-side event which occurs only after a postback. If you inserted a breakpoint, you'd find that the program never gets there.

So what do I do to fix that?
Thanks Steve
Set AutoPostBack="true" for the dropdownlist and just place the dropdownlist in its own updatepanel to hide the visible refresh.
Hello, I already have my dropdownlist1 in an updatepanel with autopostback="true" and the whole page refreshes. If autopostback="false" nothing happens.
Please look at my code on top again.
Thanks for the help
Steve
