How to fix something on a web page

[Goober at christianDOTnet]

I'm wanting to fix the following on a web page without really re-inventing
anything.

What I have is a vb web page with a radiobuttonlist where I can pick Current
or History year.

Underneath that is a listbox that has a set of reports in it, some for
current year, some for history year. If Current year is chosen, 6 reports
(depending on user access level) are listed, on the History one, 2 are
listed (also depending on user access level). The menus are developed as a
part of the page_load event (see below).

What happens is that the list gets built when the page opens, and items are
listed and removed, based on their access level. The selectedindex property
is set to -1 when the page is initally displayed (the radio button and the
listbox are set to autopostback).

The problem is, if I click on the History radio button, and then 1 of the
reports, it does nothing, other than post back to the page. At that time,
the selected index is still -1 (when I click on the report on the history
tab the first time). When I click on it a second time, it sets it to the
appropriate value and runs the report.

There is code in the selectedindexchanged event that checks to see if the
index is set to -1, it exited the sub, and on the autopostback, I'd click it
a second time to run the report.

I'm not sure what to do with this piece of code, to just display a menu of
reports to run.

I would appreciate any input as to a "good" way (this one seems bassackwards
to me) to make a list of reports to programatically display to sets of
users, passing on appropriate session variables.

Any help appreciated.
