How to append DropDownList value to button's PostBackUrl?

[rob]

Hi,

I have a button whose PostBackUrl should include a value from a dropdownlist
on the same page. Should I do that in the button's on click event? What
I'd like to end up with is a post back url that looks like the following:
PostBackUrl=somepage.aspx?param=<valuewhere <valuecomes from the
currently selected item in the list.

Thanks,
Rob

Hi,

this does not reply 100% exactly what you asked for but in my post

I demonstrate how to use PostBackUrl type of stuff (=cross-page postback)
so that the value is accessible via PreviousPage

Forgot to say, it should also work for DropDownList just as well as for
ListBox.
