Dropdown selectedindexch anged event firing when submit button clic

Hi,

I have a web control button that I use for submitting a form, for some
reason this causes a dropdownlist web control I have in a panel at the top of
the form to execute it's selected index changed event even though on this
postback that value hasn't been changed. I believe viewstate and validation
are causing this value to be considered changed somehow. When the page is
first loaded the only control that causes postback is this dropdown, then on
rerendering the page, it displays another panel that goes with the value
selected in the dropdown.

Any ideas?

Please help thanks.

Is the DropDownList's ViewState disabled? If so, then it can cause odd side-effects
if you're relying upon it's eventing behavior. IOW, if you are using the
SelectedindexCh anged event, you can't disable viewstate.

I am using cascading dropdowns, where the selection in one determines what fills another. In regular ASP I simply loaded a giant dataset into javascript array and when you clicked on one dropdown, it populated the others accordingly. In ASP.Net, I was looking for a way to do this without javascript. So, I made my form and put code in the SelectedIndexChanged event of the dropdown that populates the next dropdown. Of course to do this,...

Hello, I have a dropdown list on a user control and the AutoPostBack property is set to True. I want to use the SelectedIndexChanged event to populate some text boxes based on what the user chose in the dropdown list. However, the SelectedIndexChanged event doesn't fire. In the immediate window it appears that the index is not changing when I select a different option in the list.

Hi all, If I change the selected value of a dropdown server control on client side, is there any way to force the serverside Selectedindexchanged event? (if the user clicks on the dropdown and selects a value, the codebehind event fires, but if the value is changed via javascript, it doesnt. I tried __doPostBack, but it posts entire form back and fires all the validation check. How can I achieve firing of server side event via javascript?...
