DropDownList selectedIndex is not updated

[Wanda]

Hi,

I am trying to read the DropDownList's selectedIndex when it fires the
event
"SelectedIndexC hanged", however, the index value is always 0 no matter
what I've clicked. I just wonder what have I done wrong in my code...

This is how I populate my list at the Page_Load!!!!


Dim myCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand(strS QL, cn)
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = myCMD.ExecuteRe ader()
Dim fNextResult As Boolean = True

lstEmployee.Ite ms.Clear()
Do Until Not fNextResult
Do While myReader.Read()
If Not myReader.IsDBNu ll(0) Then
lstEmployee.Ite ms.Add(New
ListItem(myRead er.GetString(1) , myReader.GetInt 32(0)))
End If
Loop
fNextResult = myReader.NextRe sult()
Loop
myReader.Close( )


Thanks in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Wanda

Re: DropDownList selectedIndex is not updated

Assume from potential readiability problems with the code, make sure it's
wrapped in an:

If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
... 'put your code in here
end if

Otherwise, on postback, your ddl is repopulated and its selected value lost.
