Remarks

The SelectedIndexChanged event is raised when the selection from the list control changes between posts to the server.

Note

A list control must persist some values between posts to the server for this event to work correctly. Be sure that view state is enabled for the list control.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

The OnSelectedIndexChanged method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
