ASP.NET / C#: DropDownList SelectedIndexChanged in server control not firing

Question

I\'m creating a server control that basically binds two dropdown lists, one for country and one for state, and updates the state dropdown on the country\'s selectedindexchan

Answer 1

Is Viewstate turned on?

Edit: Perhaps you should reconsider overriding the rendering function

  protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)
    {
        ddlCountries.RenderControl(output);
        ddlStates.RenderControl(output);
    }

and instead add the dropdownlists to the control and render the control using the default RenderContents.

Edit: See the answer from Dennis which I alluded to in my previous comment:

Controls.Add ( ddlCountries );
Controls.Add ( ddlStates );
