Question

I am currently developing a custom role/permission system…

I have a user control with all my permissions already and i want to re-use it for my custom role editor.

So right now I have a dropdownlist of the custom roles and a textbox to edit the name. What I want to do is…everytime a new value is selected in the dropdownlist the page to refresh and re-load my permission control with the RoleID and RoleName properties to be set to the DDL.SelectedValue and the textbox.Text like so…

<RSIPD:Permissions ID="Permissions" RoleID="[lstBaseRoles.SelectedValue]" RoleName="[txtCustomRoleName.Text]" runat="server" />

I know I am probably going about this the wrong way as I am more familiar with MVC3 than traditional ASP.NET Webform and am still learning.

This can be done in the code behind:

Permissions.RoleID = lstBaseRoles.SelectedValue
Permissions.RoleName = txtCustomRoleName.Text

This code would need to be called in the SelectedIndexChanged event of your DropDownList, and the TextChanged event of your TextBox.
