I have a combobox in a grid popup edit form that I'm creating programatically and I'm trying to set the SelectedIndexChanged event, but I can't seem to get it to fire.

there are some data points that get read in to determine whether or not to set the SelectedIndexChanged event, but here is the code

I know I'm getting to the point where it should assign the SelectedIndexChanged event because the AutoPostBack attribute right above it is working (I can comment out that line and the combobox doesn't postback).

Here is the associated event code

I put in the Response.Redirect just to see if the event was firing and it's not.

Am I not going about this correct way? I need to be able to fire off this event so the BuildOptions event gets run when the postback occurs.

Thanks

Hi Philip,

Could you please put a breakpoint into the SelectedIndexChanged event and debug the application?

I wish I could, but this application will not work in debug mode because of the way it's being designed. I'm running Visual Studio on the development server because the login for that server has access rights to modify an enterprise level database. However, the user that the server runs under creates critical errors with authentication when I try to run the site locally in the Visual Studio environment.

I would probably have to spend a couple of days coding around this just to get it to run locally where Visual Studio is installed and even then I don't know if I could get to the part of the application where the problem is occurring because there's another level of authentication based on Active Directory.

I will try to pull this code out and set up a separate application without any of the authentication pieces. Might take me a day or so to get to that though. Would it be better if I opened up an official support ticket for this? We are both RadControls and Sitefinity customers. Thanks.

Hello Philip,

Yes, it would be better to open a support ticket and attach your code.

In the meantime could you try to test the SelectedIndexChanged event by simply updating a label instead of calling the "Response.Redirect(url);"?

I just attempted what you suggested and it worked. I added a Label to the grid's popup edit form with empty text. Inside my SelectedIndexChanged event, I located the control and updated the text to "FOUND IT". Upon changing the ComboBox that fires this event, the label updated to "FOUND IT".

As expected, when I did this, the ComboBox that was created had additional blank items in the dropdown.

Hello Philip,

Do you use RadAjaxManager? If so, please try to call RadAjaxManager.Redirect instead of Response.Redirect.

I do use RadAjaxManager...the Response.Redirect was just a test to see if I was actually hitting the SelectedIndexChanged event, similar to you having me update a label. I just wanted to make sure the event is firing, which we've proved it is.

The normal code execution won't have any type of redirect in it. All of my other redirects use RadAjaxManager.Redirect though.

Hi Philip,

If I understand you correctly the SelectedIndexChanged event fires as expected. Are there any outstanding issues?
