Databinding and order of events

I'm having a problem here and am looking for the answer. I have two
listboxes. One is a dropdown and the other is a simple list of items
which is databound . I want to be able to allow the user to change the
value in the dropdown which would, in turn, change the values in the
list.

So, I create a background routine to change the sql accordingly. Create
routine to respond to the event of the dropdown changing values. Set
autopostback to true. When can I change my sql statement? It seems to
be either before the onselectedindex changed event fires or, if on the
databinding event of the list, it doesn't fire at all after the first
retrieval.

I'm sure this is a common thing. Please, how is it done?

Never mind. I just worked it out. You need to actually call the binding
method manually from the onselectedindex changed event handler by
specifying:

textboxname.Dat aBind (); (in C#)

I'm writing what should be a very simple app against an Oracle database. The app has a number of user controls, any one of which is loaded into a main display page using the loadControl method, depending on which menu item a user selects.

Everything works fine except that I'll occaisionally get an...

Hi! I am having some very strange behavior with my databound controls. It's taken a long time to isolate exactly what is provoking the problem, but I'm still leagues away from solving it. I have a DataView which filters a DataSet. Bound to this dataview is a ListBox, via its DataSource property. The DisplayMember is the name property of the row. Simple enough so far?

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.
