selected item won't change

Re: selected item won't change

when the user clicks the button, Page_Load fires first, thus clearing the
dropdownlist and re-adding the listitems...

If Not PAge.IsPostBack then
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "alpha", "alpha" ))
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "beta", "beta" ))
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "gamma", "gamma" ))
end if
