Hello all,

  I have a dropdownlist on my form. I have some code that executes when the user clicks on it and selects a different value(SelectedIndexChanged Event). This works fine. Initally, when I enter the page, I set the value in this dropdown based on a session variable. However, when I do this, the SelectedIndexChanged Event doesn't fire like when a user changes the value. I would like this event to fire when the value is set programatically. I can't seem to find a way to fire this event manually. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks for the help.

Jim

Probably the quickest way to do this is to call a separate method from the SelectedIndexChanged event (which is always a good idea) and use that same method in your own code:

Funcion SelectedIndex_Changed(Bla bla bla)
  DoMySelectedIndexChanged()
End Function

Private Sub Page_Load()
  DoMySelectedIndexChanged()
End Sub

Private Sub DoMySelectedIndexChanged()
  ' Do whatever you need to do here
End Sub

HtH,
