Constructing ASP in VS2005. One dropdownlist control will notcooperate

[Brent White]

I can't figure out what I'm doing differently with this one drop-down
list control from the other two that are working just fine.

Background:

I am constructing a page that will allow a user to select style,
color, size from dropdown boxes and get a short datagrid report based
on that selection. When they select the style and hit a button, the
color (and eventually size) dropdown lists will automatically fill
based on the style selection, using a datareader class through an ADO
connection. The color and size lists work fine. You select a color
and size from the list and hit another command button and the datagrid
shows the data from a stored procedure on SQL Server 2005.

Initially, I had the style field set up as a text field for usability
testing, but I didn't want to raise the risk of a SQL Injection
attack, so I made it a dropdownlist instead by deleting the text box
and putting in a dropdown list with the same name. No problem, right?

Well, not exactly. It has a default value in it of 1250 (which would
be the first style avaialble to select, so that's right). The problem
is, regardless of the Autopostback value for the list, if you click on
another style, the dropdown list reverts back to 1250. Neither of the
other dropdown lists did this, but now I can't even click on the Load
Colors (button2) and get either of the dropdown lists to refresh.

Here's the VB code:

Thanks for all your help. I figured it out on my own. Next time I
won't bother.
