                    </telerik:RadGrid>

Here is the Code Behind

    protected void rgContactNumber_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditFormItem item = e.Item as GridEditFormItem;
            DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)item.FindControl("ddlPhoneType");
            ddl.AutoPostBack = true;
            ddl.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(ddl_SelectedIndexChanged);
            ddl.DataSource = CollateralPartyBLO.GetContactSubTypes();
            ddl.DataBind();
        }
    }

    protected void ddl_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int id = ddl.SelectedIndex;
    }

Hi Lakshman,

Can you try setting the SelectedIndexChanged event handler in the aspx and see whether it is firing?

ASPX:
 <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged"
        </asp:DropDownList>

Hi.  I'm using a radCombobox and I had to do the following: 

 

 

ddl.SelectedIndexChanged +=

new RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventHandler(ddl_SelectedIndexChanged);

 

 

Hope this helps.
