SelectionList.SelectedIndexChanged Event

 

Occurs whenever a user changes the selection of a SelectionList object. This API is obsolete. For information about how to develop ASP.NET mobile applications, see the www.asp.net/mobile Web site.

Namespace:   System.Web.UI.MobileControls
Assembly:  System.Web.Mobile (in System.Web.Mobile.dll)

public event EventHandler SelectedIndexChanged

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.

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.
