Selecting a Vehicle Type from a Drop Down List

Hi Everyone,

I have a web application that I am working on. I have populated the VehicleType_vch dropdown list with T Sequel code using a select statement when the application runs.

When the user selects a Vehicle type called Boat, I want other drop downs to appear and become visible based on the selection by ther user with the VehicleType_vch Drop Down List.

Where do I place the coding to handle this event? Do I place in the Selected IndexChanged event or TextChanged event or some other place? When I run the coding below nothing happens, so I have something wrong.

My coding:

Protected Sub DDLVehicleType_vch_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DDLVehicleType_vch.SelectedIndexChanged
If DDLVehicleType_vch.SelectedItem.ToString = "Boat" Then
LblBoatState.Visible = True
DDLState.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

Set a break point on the IF... and let us know if your code is reaching the "if" statement and than as next if "yes" let us know if the objects can be initialized?

Question is in a protected procedure are the obejcts you asking for are known? Maybe for testing, try it public.

Hope this will help you.
