Hi, From where you populate this values i mean do you have seperate table. Thanks Warm Regards Prakash-B

fill the B dropdown with the Selectedvalue from A dropdown in the SelectedIndexChanged event of A dropdown. sathy

In page_Load DropDownList1.AutoPostBack = True If (Not Page.IsPostBack) Then DropDownList1.Items.Add("nokia") DropDownList1.Items.Add("samsung") DropDownList1.Items.Add("motorola") End If In DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged If (DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = 0) Then DropDownList2.Items.Clear() DropDownList2.Items.Add("6600") DropDownList2.Items.Add("1100") DropDownList2.Items.Add("2600") ElseIf (DropDownList1.SelectedIndex = 1) Then DropDownList2.Items.Clear() DropDownList2.Items.Add("S6600") DropDownList2.Items.Add("S1100") DropDownList2.Items.Add("S2600") Else DropDownList2.Items.Clear() DropDownList2.Items.Add("M6600") DropDownList2.Items.Add("M1100") DropDownList2.Items.Add("M2600") End If I think this is one of the way to do. rs_net

Set the AutoPostBack Property of the List A to True,Then you can see the magic...;) Sathiyaraj Ganesan

use SelectedIndexChanged event of the A dropdownlist to populate the data in B dropdownlist box. Regards R.Arockiapathinathan

i can create individual tables for the 3 different items' (nokia, samsung, motorola) model number. like one table for nokia models, 2nd table for samsung, and 3rd table for motorola.. but is it possible to combine the 3 tables together..? -DarkangeL-

[Sathiyaraj Ganesan]

1.Add Nokia,Samsung,Motorola to List A manually. 2.Set Autopostback Property of List A to TRUE. 3.Double click List A,Then write the code for populating the corresponding value in List B from Table. Note: write the code on SelectedIndexChanged of List A. Sathiyaraj Ganesan

really. Set up the datasources and bind them the 2nd will bind to the selected value of A 1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!
