Drop down list does not fire selectedindexchanged

[llmclaughlin]

Not sure why this happening. I have a drop down list that I fill. I pick something from it which fills another drop down list. When I change the second drop down list the autopostback fires but the selectedindexchanged function does not on ddlFIELD1. Below is the code behind.


Private Sub ddlVALIDATION_POINT1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ddlVALIDATION_POINT1.SelectedIndexChanged

Dim oGetFieldDesc As New clsFUNC_EXPECTEDRESULTS
Dim dbTABLE As New DataTable
dbTABLE = oGetFieldDesc.GetValFieldDesc(Me.ddlVALIDATION_POINT1.SelectedValue.ToString)

Me.txtVAL_POINT.Text = Me.ddlVALIDATION_POINT1.SelectedItem.Text
Me.ddlVALIDATION_POINT1.Visible = False
Me.txtVAL_POINT.Visible = True
Me.txtVAL_POINT.ReadOnly = True

'Me.ddlFIELD1.Items.Clear()
Me.ddlFIELD1.DataSource = dbTABLE
Me.ddlFIELD1.DataTextField = "DDLTEXT"
Me.ddlFIELD1.DataValueField = "DDLVALUE"
Me.ddlFIELD1.DataBind()


HTML side

<td width="150"><aspropDownList id="ddlVALIDATION_POINT1" RUNAT="SERVER" autopostback="True"></aspropDownList><asp:TextBox id="txtVAL_POINT" runat="server" Width="150PX" Visible="FALSE"></asp:TextBox></td>
<td><aspropDownList id="ddlFIELD1" RUNAT="SERVER" AutoPostBack="true"><asp:ListItem>-- Please Select --</asp:ListItem></aspropDownList><asp:TextBox id="txtFIELD1" runat="server" Width="75" Visible="false"></asp:TextBox></td>

Any suggestions

Thanks

I am not sure what you are saying. If changed ddl2's value, ddl1's selectedindexchanged event won't fire.

What I'm saying is after I pick a value from ddlVALIDATION_POINT1,
i use the dbTABLE = oGetFieldDesc.GetValFieldDesc(Me.ddlVALIDATION_POINT1.SelectedValue.ToString) to fill the second ddl which is ddlFIELD1. The selectedindexchanged fires now for ddlFIELD1, but it always getting the first value in the list not the selected item.

Do you have a page load event perhaps that is resetting the combo box on postback?
