Hi,
I have 6 text boxes and 1 dropdown combo on a form. I put a command button next to dropdown. when i click on that cmdbutton
i want to refresh just the drop down combo NOT ALL the text boxes on the form. I added the code

me.dropdow.autopostback = true

But it is not working. Any Idea..? I am using VB.NET/ASP.NET

Thx

To do that, I think you'll need to use AJAX. Do some serching on AJAX and ATLAS.

http://ajax.asp.net/default.aspx?tabid=47

AJAX is the simpliest way I know of.

Most dot net controls by default perform a post back to the server.
Set AutoPostback to false for those "other" fields.

You could use JS / AJAX combination if you want to refresh the list and not have to worry about the post back as MichaelP stated.
