Value from DrpList

I have some problems getting the value from the selcted index of a dropdown List. Nothing happens when I click the mat-list. Here is my code:

Code:

---

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            bindMaterialer()
        End If

    End Sub

    Protected Sub bindMaterialer()
        Dim strCn As String = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;"
        strCn += "Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("priser.mdb") & ";"
        Dim cn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(strCn)
        Dim cmdText As String = "Select Id as matId, Materiale FROM MedieMatNy Order By Id"
        Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(cmdText, cn)
        cmd.Connection.Open()
        mat.DataSource = cmd.ExecuteReader()
        mat.DataValueField = "matId"
        mat.DataTextField = "Materiale"
        mat.DataBind()
        cmd.Connection.Close()
    End Sub

Public Sub mat_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles mat.SelectedIndexChanged
        Dim strHpl As String = mat.SelectedItem.Text
        Label4.Text = strHpl
    End Sub

might be an idea to check you have the "autopostback" property set to true
