selected item won't change

TJS
can someone tell me why the selected item won't reflect user change in this
little droplist example

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<script runat="server">

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

mydropdown.Item s.clear
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "alpha", "alpha" ))
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "beta", "beta" ))
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "gamma", "gamma" ))

End Sub
Sub Select_Click(By Val sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

Messagex.text &= " selected = "
Messagex.text &= mydropdown.Sele ctedIndex

End Sub

</script>

when the user clicks the button, Page_Load fires first, thus clearing the
dropdownlist and re-adding the listitems...

If Not PAge.IsPostBack then
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "alpha", "alpha" ))
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "beta", "beta" ))
mydropdown.Item s.Add( New ListItem( "gamma", "gamma" ))
end if

I'm having the problem with this drop down list on postback. For some reason both the ListItems get selected when I change the selected item. Using the code below I'm building the drop down list in the overriden CreateChildControls method and setting the selected item. Then when I change the item in the drop down list the list is rebuilt from viewstate, but the initial item is still selected causing the error below. I also have a number...

Hi! I'm using a standard server side ASP.Net listbox control on a web form. The page is basically various shades of green. The listbox itself has a pale green background and forest green text and a forest green border. However, when you move the cursor from one item to the next within the listbox or you click on an item in the listbox to select it, the background turns to the standard windows dark blue with white letters. Well, that...

say I have a databound combo box, which allows for text entry still (DropDownStype = DropDown in this case). now, If the user doesn't enter manually an item in the data bound list, nothing should be selected of course, but I want if a user enters an item that is in the list already, to select it, and only if the item is a complete match to what they typed to be selected. This is kind of like an auto complete scenerio, but allows for...

I have a GridView bound to an ObjectDataSource. I have a Button that calls GridView.DataBind. I want the row that is selected before the DataBind to still be selected afterwards. This happens automatically if the data doesn't change. But if records have been added or deleted then it looks as if some code is necessary: I've done this by using GridView.SelectedValue to get the key value of the currently selected Row and then by itterating...

I've tried googling for the answer to this problem, without any luck. I'm sure the truth must be out there somewhere! I have a multiselect listbox populated with many items (set by the RowSource property). In my code I cause a number of these to be selected - but if the first selected item is not within the currently visible range then there is no change to the display. This gives the impression that nothing has happened. I think...

I have a drop down list on an asp.net 2 page that is bound to a table. By default it displays the first item as the selected item. But I want to make sure that the user must change the selection. I am using the change-selection event to trigger so other code. If the user is satisfied with the default this other code won't run. So I am adding an additional .item.add("(None)") after the .databind() to add a (None) selection to the list....

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
