Try the ajax toolkit and the cascading drop down example, see link below.

A regular way is to set AutoPostBack property to True
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...pdownlist.aspx


<aspropDownList id="ColorList"
AutoPostBack="True"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="Selection_Change"
runat="server">

.......
void Selection_Change(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{

// Use ColorList.SelectedItem.Value to get the selected value
.....

DropDownList2.DataSource = ...
DropDownList2.DataBind();

}

and so on

Thank you Steve, very helpful articles are there
regards
