Event Not Firing for DropdownList in DataGrid

[AdrEsqu]

I am trying to use AutoPostback to retrieve the value that was selected

in my dropdownlist. The event is not firing for the dropdownlist
because the datagrid is being built after the Lifecycle of the Firing
Events. So in order to capture my selected value I need to capture it
in the OnInit when the autopostback fires, but I don't know how I can
do this.

Since the Page Lifecycle fires events before my datagrid gets built
then I can not use the eventhandler for my dropdownlist if anybody has
any help I really could use it.
Thanks,
Adrian

I think you want to create a method that fires when the selected index
changes for the dropdownlist. Its hard to say much else using just the
information you provided.

Here is code for my dropdownlist

private RebarDropDownLi st ObjectNameList
{
get
{
EnsureChildCont rols();
if (nameListValue == null)
{
nameListValue = new RebarDropDownLi st();
nameListValue.R ebarPageSet(thi s.PageCommon()) ;
nameListValue.P artsToRender =
ControlPartsToR ender.ControlOn ly;
nameListValue.S electedIndexCha nged += new
EDS.Rebar.Web.W ebControls.Reba rDropDownList.S electedIndexCha ngedEventHandle r(DropDownListV alue_SelectedIn dexChanged);
nameListValue.A utoPostBack = true;
nameListValue.I D = "objectnameList ";
FillObjectNameL ist();
}
return nameListValue;
}
}
Code for outputing the dropdownlist

private void MetaDataGrid_Ad dHeaderRows(
RebarGrid grid)
{

RebarGridCellHe ader cellHeader;
grid.AddNewHead erRow();

//Blank Cell
cellHeader = grid.AddNewHead erCell();
cellHeader.Text = "Icon";
grid.AddNewHead erRow();
for (Int32 r = 0; r < MetadataHeaders .Count; r++)
{
if (MetadataOption s[r].ToString() == "object_nam e")
{
RebarGridCell cellListHeader = grid.AddNewCell ToHeader();
cellListHeader. Controls.Add(Ob jectNameList);
}
THE "MetaDataGrid_A ddHeaderRows" is in my CreateChildCont rols as
"this.Controls. Add(MetaDataGri d);"

Problem is the eventhandler does not fire because the DataGrid gets
built after the events lifecycle so I'm trying to get the selected
values without using the eventhandler.

Thanks.
