RadDropDown OnItemSelected/OnClientItemSelected

[Mike]

Hi everybody! First and foremost, I am very new to software development, so I have a lot to learn. I've inherited a few projects that need some changes/updates, and the original developer is no longer here nor is there any documentation.

My first small fix is to update a checkbox to a dropdown with 3 values. The RadDropDownList updates one other dropdown on the page (as did the checkbox it's replacing), and the initial RDDL selection is handled on ItemDataBound (I have that part working!). I can't get the RDDL to update the other dropdown, and I'm fairly certain it's because I'm not using it entirely correctly. I've been through the documentation, but there's still so much that I don't know that it's proving difficult. The SelectWOStatus sub below was copypasta'd directly from the ItemCommand/CommandName case that handled the checkbox. Can anyone at least point me in the right direction?

TL;DR:

• I'm a baby dev; be gentle
• Replace checkbox with RadDropDownList
• How do I get the value from the selection and update another dropdown accordingly?
• Copypasta'd method from ItemCommand/CommandName of previous checkbox

Derp ... did not realize the XML was in there twice. My mistake!
