Try changing the access modifier of OnSelectedIndexChanged method to public

I am using a dynamically created control; putting in SelectedIndexChanged works for the compiler but it doesn't trigger the event; Any ideas why not?

foreach ( Control c in PlaceHolder1.Controls)
{
(c as System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList).Items.Add(new ListItem(""));
(c as System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList).Items.Add(new ListItem("First"));
(c as System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList).Items.Add(new ListItem("Second"));
(c as System.Web.UI.WebControls.DropDownList).SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dd123_selectindexchanged);
};
