I set the autopostback property of the dropdown to TRUE but it does not seem to fire the gridview's RowCommand event. &nbsp;I put an image button in the same column and if I click that it generates the RowCommand event but the dropdownlist does nothing except generate the post back that I can see. &nbsp;

I have a gridview that list some records. &nbsp;In each row, I have a dropdownlist that is used to categorize the record. I want users to be able to select a dropdownlist item and then trigger some event so I can update that record in the database with that value. &nbsp;I want to do this with out the user having to hit an edit button. &nbsp; I am using Visual Studio 2008 and prefer a VB example, but C# will do as well. &nbsp;Thanks.
