Dynamic dropdownlist and postBack ...

[Francois]

Hello,

ASP NET 2.0 visual studio 2005.

I am tryng to create a dynamic dropdownlist in the Page_Load event.

myDDL = new DropDownList

I populate it in the IsPostBack branch of Page_Load.

myDDL.DataSource = ArrayList ...
myDDL.DataBind();
When the page is called back after a click, the dropdownlist comes back
empty,
I have myDDL.SelectedValue = "" ;

I have no problem with other textBox.

Of course, EnableViewState = true.
What should I check for ?

Thanks.

François.

Move this line
myDDL = new DropDownList
into Page_PreInit event.

I tried Page_Init and Page_PreInit to no result.

I tried SelectedIndexChanged, but it did not fire.

The only thing that changed something was to repopulate the list in
Page_Lod, by using myDDL.Items.Add. And then it only worked for the next
PosyBack.

Later PostBack no longer change the value.

Thanks.
