How to view values selected from a dropdownlist

[Jacqui]

Heres what i did:

 Protected Sub DropDownList2_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DropDownList2.SelectedIndexChanged
 
       if DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "Author" then
          MsgBox("a")
        ElseIf DropDownList1.SelectedValue = "ISBN" Then
          MsgBox("i")
        Else
         MsgBox("Select something")
        End If

This is a asp.net question not a Classic ASP question.

You haven't really stated what the problem is.

Maybe it's the fact that you are trying to use a Message Box to display the selected value. There is no such feature in ASP.NET (MsgBox is only available in windows desktop applications).

Try placing a Label on the page and set the Text property of the label to show the selected value instead.
