huh?
the request.form() required the page to be posted to as well as using
string = this.textbox1.Value;
or
string = this.ddl.SelectedItem.Value()/Text()

Otherwise I am confused.
 
Autopostback is good to raise an event when the user makes a selection, if another control has caused the postback you can just use myDDL.selectedvalue
 
P.S...
FIX YOUR CLOCK. If I had noticed I wouldn't have answered, nor will I follow
up on this anymore either till it's adjusted correctly.
 
Hi,
Is there any other way to quickly grab the selected index/value of a
dropdownlist other using than the autopostback property to true? ...
I found the autopostback to slow down things....
in classic asp, there used to be request.form("<<name of a hidden value>>")
.....

thanks in advance
 
what should the clock be set to ?
My clock is set to the correct US EST time.

Thanks

Raterus,

that is exacly my objective here, that there are couple of dependent
dropdown lists, with elements numbering about 2000.
I couldnt find any other way than drop downs..

I found that the I could bind datareader returning from business object to
the page..they were fast

but is that good design? then it voids the use of a business layer if you
allow the data access elements to be accessed by the web layer ? right?

Sure, you can do the whole thing client-side, in JavaScript.
 
2000 elements in one dropdownlist? that just sounds bad no matter how you look at it! I certainly hope they are sorted!
