Hi

Do you eed to read values at the server?
Can you save a reference to your DropDown when you create it in the private
field of you page? You can access your drop-down control directly in the
event handler in this case.
Moreover, if it is possible i would recommend assigning ID to dynamically
created drop-down by yourself, if it is possible

Hi Yuriy ,

Thanks for the advice. I have assigned ID to dynamically created
dropdown. But when i try to go to the place holder and try to get the
values using a loop i can not do so as i am not getting the id of the
dropdown there.

Thanks,
Arnab

You need to re-create dynamically created controls on every postback
preferably in the Page_Init event.

What time in the page lifecycle do you create your dropd-won?

Hi ,

My problem has been solved. Actually I have created the dropdown in a
class file,as i have removed the class file now i can get the id of
the dropdown.

Thanks,
