You have posted that this is your page load event:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
    if (!IsPostBack) //this IF statement is what prevents re-binding on PostBack 
    { 
        GetQuickList(videoid, moviename); 
    } 
    else 
    { 
        GetQuickList(videoid, moviename) 
    } 
}

This will not work. You must not databind on post back. Otherwise any pending event handler requests are cancelled.

You must remove the else part of this if statement.
