Examples

The following code example shows how to use the SelectedIndexChanged event. It also shows how to use the Rows property on postback to expand the list.

Note

The following code sample uses the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Syntax Overview.

Remarks

Changing the selection on the client does not generate a postback event. This event is called on the server if a postback event is generated by some other control and the selection has changed.
