Text Box Needs to Display the Selection from the Dropdown Box

[programmher]

I need my text box or some text somewhere on my form to display the value selected from my dropdown box.

Example - if an Author's genre of Fiction is selected, the textbox should display Fiction. How do I do this?

I can not use the PageLoad event because that event hides some other fields on the page. I think I need to include something in the selectedindexch ange event.

Here is my code:

  protected void AuthorsList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
 
 
 
    }

asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="lbAuthorsList" 
       style="float:left;" DataSourceID="odsAuthorsList" 
       DataTextField="DisplayName" DataValueField="AuthorName" 
       onselectedindexchanged="AuthorsList_SelectedIndexChanged" 
       AutoPostBack="true" AppendDataBoundItems="true" >
</asp:DropDownList>   
  <asp:TextBox id="tb4" Text="Hello World!" runat="server" 
        ondatabinding="AuthorList_SelectedIndexChanged" />
 
 <asp:ObjectDataSource ID="odsAuthors" runat="server" 
            SelectMethod="GetAuthorsGenresList" TypeName="GenreSelection">
        </asp:ObjectDataSource>

You'll want something like this in your SelectedIndexCh ange

textBox1.Text = comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
