How to use a drop down list to select from ViewState

I have an ASP.NET page with two drop down lists and several text boxes. A
dataset is created based on the first list's selected value and then it's
stored in the page's ViewState. It loads the first record fine, but how do I
allow a user to select an item from the second drop down list and update the
page's display? The users do not want a grid because there is too much data
to display in a glance.

I don't have an ASP.NET reference with me, but I've tried capturing the
selected value, index and other usual suspects, but the page will not update
its content. I know I confuse Windows Forms with Web forms, too. I'm stuck.

This is read only, no data altering will be allowed at this point.

Thanks in advance,

E.
