Question

I have a 3 dropdownlist control with a selectedindexchanged event that fires correctly. However, when you select an item from the list the index value that is returned to the selectedindexchanged event does not change; the list box pops back to the first item in the list. Any help would be appreciated. ~Dharmendra~

Answer 1

You are doing ddlRegionProjectName.SelectedIndex = 0; in every SelectedIndexChanged event.

You have no event for ddlCountyName control in the code shared by you.
