What's going on?

I have a radio button list set to autopostback. When I click on one of the
buttons in that list the SelectedIndexChanged event fires but the value of
the selected index is -1 (no selection)? How can that be?

Are you creating these radio button dynamically like from a database. If
that is the case, then you need to initialize the list during the Init
event, otherwise the events are not dispatched. Also, some lists persist
the list of items in the viewstate which allows the server to build the list
at the appropriate time in the life cycle. You could try enabling the
viewstate for that control and then only binding to the data when it is not
a postback.

Thanks for the response.

These are static (pre-built) lists.

How can the changed event fire if the index has not changed?
