Hi,

I have a problem with postback. When the page is postbacked, i want the
second dropdownlist to be visible if the selectedvalue of the first one
="y".
With this code, it remains invisible. What do i wrong here?
Thanks
David

<aspropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack=true>
<asp:ListItem>x</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>y</asp:ListItem>
</aspropDownList>

<br /> <br />
<aspropDownList ID="DropDownList2" runat="server"
AutoPostBack=true Visible=false>
<asp:ListItem>1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>2</asp:ListItem>
</aspropDownList>

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
If Page.IsPostBack Then
If DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "y" Then
DropDownList2.Visible = True
End if
End If
End Sub

why not just put that logic in the SelectedIndexchanged event, making the
2nd ddl invisible by default.?

Thanks for replying.
I tried the code within this:
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
....
End Sub

but ddl2 still invisible.
I don't understand why the Page.IsPostBack doesn't work ...

I just tried this:

Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object,
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
If DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "y" Then DropDownList2.Visible = "True"
End Sub

and it worked fine for me

In order to check the AutoPostBack only, i reduced the code to this:
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label><br /><br />
<aspropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack=true >
<asp:ListItem>x</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>y</asp:ListItem>
</aspropDownList>

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Page.IsPostBack Then
Label1.Text = "ok"
End If
End Sub

But after having chosen a value in the DDL, the label.text never becomes
"ok".

So AutoPostBack doesn't work??? Or i forget to set a parameter or an option
in web.config or ...?
