Drop Down List - Events *RESOLVED*

[simonm]

I have a ASP.NET (in VB) project with a drop down list box on my page. The problem is that the SelectedItemChange event does not fire when I select a new item in the list box.

Here is my code:

Protected WithEvents ddlHaulageType As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList
 
Private Sub ddlHaulageType_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlHaulageType.SelectedIndexChanged
    Dim ddlItem As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListItem
 
    ddlItem = ddlHaulageType.SelectedItem()
    ...
End Sub

I have a stop point on the line that sets the ListItem object to the SelectedItem but the debugger never gets there...

Ah...I've solved it myself.

I needed to set the AutoPostBack property (of the Drop Down List) to True.
