Hello All,
Here is my issue and thanks in advance for any assistance.
I have a base page with a dropdownlist that fires an event with
the selected index. The content page catches the event and sets
a connection string to the database. The content page has a
simple gridview that should show records from the selected
database. Initial content page displays data from correct place.
first change of dropdownlist correctly updates content page
gridview. any drop down list changes after that are ineffective.
I've attempted session state index saving in conjunction with
content page and master page load events during postback and not
postback. I've slimmed down to the basics to show my problem.
Here is the flow....
CP = Content Page
MP = Master Page
This is the first page load. The first four things listed here
happen every page.
CP::CP Constructor to content page
MP::MP Constructor to Master page
MP::MP_Init Master page init
CP::Page_Init Page INIT
(subscribe to select change event)
CP::Page_Load:N OTPostBack Initial call to page_load
CP::GridView1_D ataBound bind it up and display records from
default db. this works to correct
database.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CP::Page_Load:P ostBack the first postback
MP::CSDDL_SIC FIRED master page drop down changed by user
MP::Fire Index(1) master fires new index to content page
CP::Catch Index(1) content page catches
CP::GridView1_D ataBound bind it up and display records from new
database. this works perfectly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CP::Page_Load:P ostBack another post back to content page
MP::CSDDL_SIC FIRED master page drop down changed by user
MP::Fire Index(0) master fires new index to content page
CP::Catch Index(0) content page catches
*****Lack of LLT::GridView1_ DataBound here and on all subsequent
dropdownlist changes*****
