DropDown loosing selectedindex when hidden.

[Chopsaki]

Hello.
I have a page. It has a hidden panel on it. The panel contains various
controls, their selections and values are loaded from a dataset (when
hidden). When a user clicks a button the panels visibility is set to
visible. Everything shows up fine, including radio groups and listboxes.
They maintain their proper selectedItem index, however the dropdowns do not.
I cannot find any fixes for this. Does anyone have a fix?

thanks in advance,

Most likely, you're re-binding those dropdowns on each load of the page... if you do that, you lose your indexes.

To resolve this, only bind the controls when:

not page.ispostback

No offence mate but I did say that all the other controls are maintaining their selectedIndex (listboxes). I am well aware of the postback event too. I actually have this problem in about 20-30 usercontrols. I am pretty sure it is a bug.
