Message: [QUOTE="Guest, post: 1083611"] Hi Everyone, I had posted a message about the dropdownlist not displaying newly added items. Just alittle background. I'm working with a masterpage and a usercontrol(Search control) (VS2005) that contains a few controls and a dropdownlist. Once the user logs in I have a event that is triggered(Master page captures event) from another usercontrol(login) and executes LoadAdminOptions. So I thought I'd start from scratch and wrote the following code: Public sub LoadAdminOptions() cmbOptions.DataSource = CreateDataSource() cmbOptions.DataTextField = "ItemText" cmbOptions.DataValueField = "ItemValue" cmbOptions.DataBind() End Sub Function CreateDataSource() As ICollection Dim dt As New DataTable() Dim dr As DataRow Dim lUser as new User lUser = Session("UserInfo") dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("ItemText", GetType(String ))) dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("ItemValue", GetType(Integer ))) dr = dt.NewRow() dr(0) = "Search by PO ID" dr(1) = 0 dt.Rows.Add(dr) dr = dt.NewRow() dr(0) = "Search by Field" dr(1) = 1 dt.Rows.Add(dr) dr = dt.NewRow() dr(0) = "Search between dates" dr(1) = 2 dt.Rows.Add(dr) dr = dt.NewRow() dr(0) = "Most recent # days" dr(1) = 3 dt.Rows.Add(dr) if lUser.Role.RoleName.ToUpper = "ADMIN" then dr = dt.NewRow() dr(0) = "Search by UserId" dr(1) = 4 dt.Rows.Add(dr) dr = dt.NewRow() dr(0) = "Awaiting Approval" dr(1) = 5 dt.Rows.Add(dr) end if Dim dv As New DataView(dt) Return dv End Function The problem is that after the code runs, there are NO ITEMS in the list. Why? This is almost a copy of the code from the online help file. In searching what was going on I added the following code to the Search control load event: if not IsPostBack then msgbox ("load event") else msgbox ("Post Back") end if Observations: Get "load event" when page is first loaded as expected. When user logs in and event is executed I get "Post Back" my code get executed and then the I get the "load event". It appears that something is out of sinc. Anyone have a suggestions how to handle this one. I've gone back to the event way, cause I was having Major problems getting a reference to properties or functions from outside the user controls. What do you think? Thanks for any suggestion. Mike [/QUOTE]
