Hi,

I have a form in which there is a DropDownList.
When I select an item from the DropDownList the whole page gets refreshed.

I want it to stop refreshing, how can I do that?

Thanks

Solution 1

Check the 'AutoPostBack' property of the list, it will be set to True. This means it will automatically post back to the server on every click event (when you select something)

Just set it to False and it will stop this behaviour

You must check your code behind then. There must be a line in between, called at Page_load which is setting Autopostback property of dropdownlist to true. Remove that particular line and it will get on working fine.

Solution 3

In design u give AutoPostBack="False" or remove AutoPostBack itself. This will work.
