I have populated a pull down list from a database Table using a datareader.

The combo box will show a Name and the value of the item will be the ID of 
the field.

For the DataTextField property I have chosen the field with what I want 
the user to see in the pull down menu, and for the dataValueField I have 
chosen the ID field for the item in the pull down list.

The problem I am having is the dataValueField value does not change when a 
different item is selected from the pull down list. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Sion

Hi Sion,
Please try to use IsPostBack when you call a Page_Load.
Here is the example code using C# :

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
         if ( !Page.IsPostBack )
         {
                 //Call your function / script to fill your pulldown list 
from database here
         }
}

regards,
