hi,
first it would be useful to describe what you are trying to do. code is
helpful but it's no good unless you describe what you are trying to do with
it!

you say that the selected index of the first two dropdownlists are not
changed, are they supposed to change? in response to the user? or your
code?
you have this line of code in each bind method:
//reportCategoty_DropDownList.SelectedIndex=-1;
is it supposed to be uncommented?

happy to help if you can provide more info

[Tim_Mac]

typically this is done via AutoPostBack dropdownlists. it seems strange
that you bind all 3 lists on the first Page_Load, since you can't know what
to populate lists 2 and 3 with until a selection has been made with list 1.

normally i would do something like this (pseudo-code):
First Page_Load (!PostBack) Bind List 1 (lists 2 and 3 remain empty)
List1_SelectedIndex_Changed Bind List 2
List2_SelectedIndex_Changed Bind List 3
List3_SelectedIndex_Changed Search whatever

have you got AutoPostBack=true on all the lists? also, you haven't posted
the SelectedIndexChanged events. it's very difficult to piece together your
situation with only a part of the code. if you post all the relevant code i
will be happy to take a look again.

[Tim_Mac]

hi Santosh,
your code looks normal. in your original post, you say

"selection index of first two dropdownlist is not changed but
the third selected index of third dropdownlist is changed
when i am click on search button."

i am assuming that you have EnableViewStated = true and AutoPostBack=true
set on all 3 drop down lists, and that the SelectedIndexChanged events are
correctly registered for all 3 menus, and that these events are firing
correctly.
if this is the case then when you change List1, it will postback and the
selectedIndex of List1 should stay on what you selected. It should also
stay for all future postbacks unless you re-bind the list. Does this
happen?

when you click on the search button, the SelectedIndex of all 3 lists should
be the same as you left it. from the description of your steps below, can
you say exactly where your code behaves unexpectedly:

Step 1: change List1
Step 2: change List2
Step 3: change List3
Step 4: click search.

the third selected index of third dropdownlist is changed
when i am click on search button."

i am assuming that you have EnableViewStated = true and AutoPostBack=true
set on all 3 drop down lists, and that the SelectedIndexChanged events are
correctly registered for all 3 menus, and that these events are firing
correctly.
if this is the case then when you change List1, it will postback and the
selectedIndex of List1 should stay on what you selected. It should also
stay for all future postbacks unless you re-bind the list. Does this
happen?

when you click on the search button, the SelectedIndex of all 3 lists should
be the same as you left it. from the description of your steps below, can
you say exactly where your code behaves unexpectedly:

Step 1: change List1
Step 2: change List2
Step 3: change List3
Step 4: click search.

have you got AutoPostBack=true on all the lists? also, you haven't

hi Santosh,
when you say the index remains the same, do you mean when you change the
index to the 5th item (for example) that it stays on the 5th item after the
SelectedIndexChanged event? or that it stays on the first 'Select...' item
after the event?

[Tim_Mac]

hi Santosh,
it is difficult to follow your situation. you say that after you change
List3 that it resets the index back to 0 when the page posts back. am i
right in saying that the postback is because List3 has AutoPostBack=true?
the reason i ask is because you don't appear to have a SelectedIndexChanged
event for List3. so i'm not sure why you would want List3 to post back
itself.

i hope you can clarify the above question. also, please post your aspx code
with the 3 lists, and your InitialiseComponent code to make sure you have
wired the events correctly with the menus.

I am trying both options if i am set autopostback=false to third list
then also the selection is changed. when page is get postback. and when

hi Santosh,
it is difficult to follow your situation. you say that after you change
List3 that it resets the index back to 0 when the page posts back. am i
right in saying that the postback is because List3 has AutoPostBack=true?
the reason i ask is because you don't appear to have a SelectedIndexChanged
event for List3. so i'm not sure why you would want List3 to post back
itself.

i hope you can clarify the above question. also, please post your aspx code
with the 3 lists, and your InitialiseComponent code to make sure you have
wired the events correctly with the menus.

hi Santosh,
what i was interested in was the aspx which i don't think you sent yet, but
no matter, i have written a simple reproduction of your scenario which works
correctly. i will leave it up to you to compare what is different in your
own situation.

the most likely explanation is that you have EnableViewState=False on one of
your lists, this is why i wanted to see the aspx.

good luck, and i hope this helps.

Hii Tim_Mac
I am trying both options if i am set autopostback=false to third list
then also the selection is changed. when page is get postback. and when
i am set autopostback=true and writting code to selectionchanged for
capturing selected value so third list in this case also value is get
changed.
