DropDownList Box

[bthumber]

I have a dropdownlistbox that is populated from a table in a database. When the user clicks on one of the item in the list, I need the page to redirect page(x). How is that done?

[mcmcom]

make a method called somethign like

myDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("somePage.aspx"); 

}

then in your DropDownlist add the following property

<asp:DropDownList id="blah" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="myDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged">
</asp:DropDownList>

and if you need the value that was selected you can use

myDropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DropDownList ddlTemp = (DropDownList)sender; 
    int selectedValue = int.parse(ddlTemp.SelectedValue.ToString()); 
    Response.Redirect("somePage.aspx?id="+selectedValue.ToString()); 
}

hth,
