Put your TextBox inside UpdatePanel.

Implement the selectionIndexChanged EVent of dropdownlist

protected void DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  string value = DropDownList1.SelectedValue.ToString();
  Response.Redirect("default.aspx?city=" + value);
}

if you don't doting anything on selection change event than why using AutoPostBack="true"
actully when you selected any item that will goes on first selection either due to rebind of set default selection on selection change event

Hello

Try as follws

REmove Enable ViewState and added OnSelectedIndexChange Event

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

      {

        if (!IsPostBack)

        {

          BindDropDown();

        }

}

 

protected void drp_New_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

      {

       

      }

 

<asp:DropDownList ID="drp__New" OnSelectedIndexChanged=” drp_New_SelectedIndexChanged” runat="server" Width="200px" AutoPostBack="true">

</asp:DropDownList> 




 

 

Hope this helpful
