i am asking is there a way to catch event of dropdownlist inside datagrid...(template column have the dropdownlist and control postback property set to true)

i can do that using addhandler but... the dropdownlist is the only control which it's postback does not fire the datagrid_itemcommand event ???

Command and link buttons will fire the ItemCommand event of the datagrid. Some other controls (like the drop down list as you have seen) will not. So you must do as Ahmed suggests.

If you need to access the datagrid item from the dropdown's event handler, you can access the DDL objects parent. So in the handler, "sender" will be the DDL and you can then access "sender.Parent...." to get at the datagrid item that the DDL is contained within. You might have to go back out several levels because the DDL's parent will be a cell, which is in the data grid item.

Can you expand on this subject?

I am doing the exact same thing but when I try to access "sender" properties, Parent is not one of them.

Thanks!
