Hello again!

yes, this is more or less what I did... i also used the DataBound event and the expression IsNotPostBack.

in that event, I could set the initial value for each control.

so for now, this is taken care off... perhaps not the best solution but it works...

thanks!

/H

If you change the value (or selection) programatically, no events will be fired, because it is assumed that the developer knows what he is doing - so he doesn't need the events to perform extra functionality. I suggest to refactor a bit so that the code in your event handlers goes to a different method, that you can call outside the event handler as well. 

Normally the events are fired when an end user does some interaction on the control, so that the developer has control over these actions and can use the event handlers do do additional logic.

Hope it helps,

To describe it a bit more, i have attached some code in the bottom of this message. My first dropdown is called ddLanguage and it contains available languages.The function GetLanguageIDByISOLetters return the value that should be set for that dropdwon control.

When the language is changed, i should change the values in the other dropdowns (ddEC3Country, ddProfileType) as well.

The value is easily set, and it works. The problem is that it isn't updating the rest of the controls.

when i am changing something on the client side, all teh events are fired in order but no event is fired when i set the value in the DataBound function.

i hope this helps in understanding my problem better. sorry for the first description ;-)
