I have an Asp.net page with 3 combobox and 1 button. The first combobox selection will affect the other 2 combobox datasource. I’m setting the datasource for the other combobox using a callback function.
After the user choose from all the combobox, the user click the button and a postback is generate.
My Problem is that the server side code, is not aware of the selections made in the page,
if i try to get the value from the combobox I get null allways.
looking for a solution.
Thank you.
