Convert asp.net VB code behind script to Javascript

Is there are way that i can convert the attached VB script to Java so i can avoid the Gridviews Postback and possible speed up the process?

the code should be fired when the value of the Dropdown list in the gridview has changed.

Thank You!

---This is the GridView Code---
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
        DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" CssClass="GridViewStyle" 
        DataKeyNames="item_id" DataMember="DefaultView" ShowFooter="True" 
        AllowSorting="True" >

---this is the CodeBehind script I would like to convert---


    Dim TotalUnitPrice As Decimal = 0.0

        Dim grdrDropDownRow As GridViewRow = (CType(ddlCurrentDropDownList.Parent.Parent, GridViewRow))
        Dim lblCurrentStatus As Label = CType(grdrDropDownRow.FindControl("lblOrderStatus"), Label)
        If Not lblCurrentStatus Is Nothing Then

            Dim ddlCurrent As DropDownList = sender

            'try to get the rox index
            Dim grdRow As GridViewRow = ddlCurrentDropDownList.Parent.Parent
            Dim Row As GridViewRow = CType(CType(sender, Control).Parent.Parent,  _
                                    GridViewRow)
            'end

            Dim index As Integer = Row.RowIndex
            Dim lbl As Label = Row.FindControl("Totals")
            Dim txtPrice As Label = Row.FindControl("Price")
            Dim lbQty As DropDownList = Row.FindControl("ddlDropDownList")
            Dim qty As String = CInt(lbQty.SelectedValue)
            Dim price As Double = CDbl(txtPrice.Text)
            Dim lblTotal As Label = GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("SubTotals")



            lbl.Text = String.Format("{0:c}", (CType(qty, Decimal) * CType(price, Decimal)))
