Drop down list 'selected index changed' not firing on webforms

[Steve Jones]

Hi there,

I am working with web forms, and am finding that the standard list of
combo box events is dramatically reduced when using the dropdownlist.

For example, the only event that I can see that will trigger when a
user selects a different menu item is 'selected index changed'. I can
confirm with a separate button that the index has in fact changed
after a pulldown selection takes place, yet the internal 'selected
index changed' event didn't seem to fire.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance,

Steve Jones

Herfried,
I thought you did know the difference between a dropdown listbox (the way
Microsoft named the combobox on an aspx.vb) and a HTML dropdownbox This is a
VB.Net question,

Steve,
I agree with you
But you can of course use it with VB without any client JScript on the
server side and that I think is a big benefit

Ooops. It's a Windows Forms question:

Herfried,
No, I think .dotnet.webforms.controls and when that not exist
dotnet.languages.Csharp or when VB.net is used dotnet.languages.VB
