Thanks for your reply. The questions I posted was a process that was
a second choice for me because I couldn't do something I wanted to do
in a web form. As it turns out the reason I couldn't do it the way I
wanted to had to do with misspelling an event name. The event in
dotnet was OnSelectedIndexChanged. I was spelling it
OnSelectedIndexChange.

Funny, it took me almost three weeks to catch that I didn't have a "d"
on the end of my event.
