I'm not feeling too smart right now, but I cannot get the correct drop down
list value from a drop down I have on my web form. I get the initial value
that was loaded in the list. Can someone show me what I am doing wrong and
tell me the correct way? Thank you.
In the page load event, I am doing the following:
//Code I use to populate the dropdown list.
ddAssignedTo.DataValueField = "PersonnelID";
ddAssignedTo.DataTextField = "DisplayName";
ddAssignedTo.DataSource = Personnel.List();
ddAssignedTo.DataBind();
//Code I use to show the value from the database.
ddAssignedTo.SelectedValue = problem.AddedBy.PersonnelId.ToString();
When I change the drop down to another item in the list, and click my update
button, I get the previous value that was selected on page load.
//Code I use for that is:
ddAssignedTo.SelectedValue
What am I doing wrong...thank you.

Also, I double clicked the control so I could see the selected index change
event fire, but it does not fire. I checked and InitializeComponent has the
event in it, but I don't see why that is not running when I select a
different value. Any thoughts on that? Thanks again.

Mike,
do you have the control's AutoPostBack property set to true?

Sorry it took so long for the reply...I got called away on another project
for a little. Anyway, the AutoPostBack property was set to False. I'm
guessing that it should be set to True?
