DataList - Firing an event for a drop down list box in the header

I'm having a problem with the DataList control, my situation is as follows...

I have a DataList with a Drop Down List Box (DDLB) in the header, this DDLB
is set to AutoPostBack = True. When the selected value in the DDLB is changed
the page does post back however no event is fired, I was expecting the
DataList.ItemCo mmand to be fired but it doesn't.

Can anyone help me to figure out how I can get a server side event to
capture this action?

I have a simple drop down list and I want the indexchange event to fire when the user changes the index to 0. So, in other words, I want the form to sumbit only when I change to index = 0, otherwise, it dont submit. At first, I turned on autopostback, and asp.net adds the onchange="__doPostBack('id', '') to my drop down list on the client side. This basically just submits everytime I changes the index. With this code, it event always...

I need to get to a status label I have on my footer section of my datalist. There is no event happening that would go to the footer. I am just doing some processing and want to update the label on the footer. At the moment, I go through the dataListItems like so: for each oItem as DataListItem in DataList1.Items trace.warn("inside for loop oItem type = " & oItem.itemType.ToString())

Hi, I have an issue with the OnSelectedIndexChanged event not firing for a DropDownList control which is in the ItemTemplate of a DataList. I have made an exact copy of the DropDownList control, and placed it outside of the DataList and it fires the event just fine. So it's definitely to do with it being in a template. I've managed to reproduce the issue on a small test app, the code and html is below:

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,...
