I have dropdownlist with some data provided by the page load with calling to a server-side function. On that dropdownlist selectedindexchanged event, I do need to call to get the value of selected index without autopostback. it works only when autopostback is set to true.
without autopost back you can't call selectedindexchanged event. If you dont want to refresh the page you can use UpdatePanel or You can use Ajax call.

I have a dropdownlist control and a text box control in asp.net. dropdownlist is getting data from database. suppose some data are x-ray,USG,MRI and their value are 100,200,300. So if i select x-ray from the dropdown i want it's value 100 binds at the textbox without page refresh. How can i do this??? Please Help.
Using .net, to have something happen on the server side when something is selected from DropDownList, having property AutoPostBack=true is required. This means when you change the SelectedIndex, the page refreshes (postback), then the SelectedIndexChanged event is fired.
Theres a few approaches. In your page_load event, put everything you want to happen on the first page load in If Not IsPostBack Then ... End If block. Then when a PostBack happens, like DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged, the code in If Not IsPostBack Then won't happen, because it IS a postback.
The above approach still has a page reload, but you can choose what happens when its this type of PostBack page reload. You may have javascript thats re-firing, though...
The second approach would be to have no postback event happen from the dropdownlist, and handle the Binding of the selected item in DropDownList to the TextBox with javascript.
I have a gridview within an update pannel. The gridview contains controls that need to throw async postbacks. I have them registered with the scriptmanager during row bind, but I don't see their change event getting handled by anything. The gridview's rowcommand event doesn't fire. Where should I catch these postbacks?
You have to manually specify Async and Full Postback triggers .
In this article explains how to set AJAX UpdatePanel Triggers i.e. PostBackTrigger or AsyncPostBackTrigger for Button or LinkButton placed in GridView within AJAX UpdatePanel.
hope this will help you
You should wire up the event handlers just like you would if you wanted full postbacks. The fact they are partial doesn't change how the event fires from that perspective.
If the events aren't firing, then the triggering mode of the update panel may be set incorrectly.
Respected sirs
I am using a DropDownList control and binding it to a LinqDataSource.
According to the selection of the mentioned DropDownList, I need to bind another DropDownList control.
I have handled the SelectedIndexChanged event for first DropDownList. When this SelectedIndexChanged occurs, page is getting refreshed. To prevent page from beend refreshed, I am using an UpdatePanel control. But, still the second DropDownList not loading.
Please give me a solution.
Thanks

Place the second DropDownList inside the UpdatePanel.
You may want to consider using CascadeDropDown too.
I forgot to mention this asp.net 2.0.
The user control has a unique id and it is loaded in the PageLoad event.
The user control is loaded into a panel and the panel is inside of a webpart.
The dropdown has autopostback set to true.
EnableViewState = true on the dropdown.
The ListItems are created in the dropdowns pre-render event method.
This is why I don't understand why it is not firing, the dropdown is the only thing that causes postback on this user control.
The event methods for the dropdown should occur since the user control is loaded in the page load method on postback again right?
Make sure there is no OnLoad or PageLoad event that is rebinding the datasource of the dropdown list. Rebinding the data with a new set of data may cause the clickhandler to not ever get executed.
make sure you have if (!Page.IsPostBack) around dropdownlist.datasource = and dropdownlist.databind()
I am not sure if this is your problem, but it is the most common.
Try with EnableViewState set to
true for the DropDownList
If the ViewState is set to false, on post back the selected Index gets back to default which is normally the first Item. First item, if selected, does not cause SelectedIndexChange event to fire
I'm writing an ASP.Net webform with some DropDownList controls on it. Then user changes selected item in one of dropdowns, ASP.Net doesn't seem to handle SelectedIndexChanged event until form is submitted with a 'Submit' button click.
How do I make my dropdowns handle SelectedIndexChanged instantly?
P.S. It's a classic question I have answered too many times, but it seems no one asked it before on stackoverflow.
Setting the AutoPostback property to true will cause it to postback when the selection is changed. Please note that this requires javascript to be enabled.
You need to set the AutoPostBack property of the list to true.
Also, if you're populating the contents of the drop down list from the code behind (getting the contents of the list from a database, for example) - make sure you're not re-binding the data in every postback.
Sometimes people are caught out by binding the drop-down in the page load event without putting it in an If Not IsPostBack. This will cause the event not to fire.
The same is also true of repeaters and ItemCommand events.
if you are populating the dropdown list during page load then each time the page postback it will reload the list thus negating your postback method.
you need to be sure to load the dropdownlist only if (!ispostback)
Set the AutoPostBack property of DropDownList to true.
