This is rather interesting issue I am facing at the moment. I have a radio button list on my page with three options "Yes", "No" and "Maybe". It has AutoPostBack set to true to fire SelectedIndexChanged event.
<asp:RadioButtonList ID="rblTakeHoliday" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True"
onselectedindexchanged="rblTakeHoliday_SelectedIndexChanged"
RepeatDirection="Horizontal">
<asp:ListItem Value="Yes">Yes</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="No">No</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Value="Maybe">Maybe</asp:ListItem>
</asp:RadioButtonList>
User selects one of the option from RadioButtonList and based on selection four gridviews are populated with data and user can select some rows from those gridviews and submit this information. Up to this point it works fine.
If user later come to same page again and want to change holiday preference from whatever selected before to something new I want to display his previous holiday selection. So I fetch his previous selection from database and make one of the radio button selected in code behind as follow (For example user selected "Maybe" as an option initially):
rblTakeHoliday.Items[0].Selected = false;
rblTakeHoliday.Items[1].Selected = false;
rblTakeHoliday.Items[2].Selected = true;
Now user is playing with those three radio buttons on the page. The SelectedIndexChanged event will fire when user selects "Yes" or "No" radio button but it will not fire for "Maybe" radio button as it rendered with checked="checked" in browser because I set it as Selected= "true" in code behind. So for example If user selects option "Yes" the SelectedIndexChanged event will fire. If user go back to "Maybe" option the SelectedIndexChaged event will not get fired. Is there any work around to this ? I want to make radio button list fire its SelectedIndexChanged event on any radio button selection.
I know this is the issue because of setting radio button selected in code behind.
