Raterus,
that is exacly my objective here, that there are couple of dependent
dropdown lists, with elements numbering about 2000.
I couldnt find any other way than drop downs..
I found that the I could bind datareader returning from business object to
the page..they were fast
but is that good design? then it voids the use of a business layer if you
allow the data access elements to be accessed by the web layer ? right?

Autopostback is good to raise an event when the user makes a selection, if
another control has caused the postback you can just use myDDL.selectedvalue

Hi,
Is there any other way to quickly grab the selected index/value of a
dropdownlist other using than the autopostback property to true? ...
I found the autopostback to slow down things....
in classic asp, there used to be request.form("<<name of a hidden
value>>") ....
thanks in advance
