Question

I have two drop down. SelCurrentManuf and selCurrentModel. I want the option in selCurrentModel to change depending on the option selected in selCurrentManuf. How do i do it?

<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="selCurrentManuf"></asp:DropDownList>
<asp:DropDownList runat="server" ID="selCurrentModel"></asp:DropDownList>

This is how i am currently populating selCurrentModel

Public Sub PopulateCurrentModel()
        Dim mySelectQuery As String = "SELECT * FROM Model where ManufID = "+ selCurrentManuf.Text+";"
        Dim myConnection As New MySqlConnection(Session("localConn"))
        Dim myCommand As New MySqlCommand(mySelectQuery, myConnection)

        myConnection.Open()
        Dim myReader As MySqlDataReader
        myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader()

        While myReader.Read
            Dim newListItem As New ListItem
            newListItem.Value = myReader.GetString("Modelid")
            newListItem.Text = myReader.GetString("desc")
            selCurrentModel.Items.Add(newListItem)
        End While

        myReader.Close()
        myConnection.Close()
    End Sub

but it only populates the first selected manuf, and doesnt change after

Private Sub selCurrentManuf_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
    ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles selCurrentManuf.SelectedIndexChanged

       PopulateCurrentModel()
End Sub
