HtmlSelect control not showing ListItems

Joe
Hello All,

I am populating an HtmlSelect control's Items property with four list items.
The HtmlSelect control is contained in a user control which is dropped into
a placeholder on the web form. When the page is rendered, the control is
empty. Here is the code:

In the web form:

Dim UControl As AugmentedDropDo wnList =
CType(LoadContr ol("../UserControls/AugmentedDropDo wnList.ascx"),
AugmentedDropDo wnList)

UControl.Popula teDropDownList( Control.Attribu tes("name").Val ue, DropDownNode)

plcContent.Cont rols.Add(UContr ol)

and in the user control:

Public Sub PopulateDropDow nList(ByVal ListCaption As String, ByVal
ListItems As XmlNode)
Label1.Text = ListCaption
SelectList = New HtmlSelect
SelectList.Name = ListCaption
For Each Item As XmlNode In ListItems.Selec tNodes("Items/Item")
Dim li As New ListItem
li.Value = Item.Attributes ("id").Value
li.Text = Item.Attributes ("value").Va lue
SelectList.Item s.Add(li)
Next
SelectList.ID = ListItems.Attri butes("id").Val ue
End Sub

Can anyone see what I'm missing?

TIA,

HtmlSelect has a method called OnServerChange that supposed to detect whether the control (select) has changed on a postback. This is not all that useful. It should be like the asp.net control, DropDownList, that initiates a postback when the option, AutoPostBack is set to true...so you can either have it postback when the user changes it immediately or not do anything when the user changes it.
