(datagrid) Retrieve the selected value (template dropdown control)

[seanny_ray]

I have a template column with a dropdown control (in a datagrid).

I have AutoPostBack set to TRUE because I need to update a file when a selection has changed.

My question:

How to retrieve the selected value when posted back in the code behind? not knowing witch DDL was changed.

Here is the template code if it can help.
Thanks,



<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<aspropDownList AutoPostBack=True id=DropDownList1 runat="server" SelectedIndex='<%# GetSelIndex(Container.DataItem("id")) %>' DataSource="<%#
GetUserType() %>" DataTextField="value" DataValueField="id">
</aspropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

You need to make an event handler for the drop down list.

EG:

    Public Sub Task_Changed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles cboGroup.SelectedIndexChanged
Response.write sender.Items(sender.SelectedIndex).Value
    End Sub

Make the HANDLES handle one of your drop down lists, but after that, you can send the SelectedIndexChanged event of ANY drop down to that same function.
