The code seems to be free from bugs, so I think u have not set teh Autopostback property(as the other person has mentioned).
One more thing for situatios like this where u check a single value in multiple statements, Its better to use Switch than using If Else Statements,
It will boost the performance.as in if statements all the conditions are checked even if the 1st one is correct.

Think of this, U have nearly 100 conditions and only one will be true,in "If else" all the conditions will be checked even if the 1st is true, which is waste,

In Switch its not the case, if a condition is true, it will not check for the remaining.
