Where to insert this code?

Mar 19th, 2008

I have a multiview inside a form view. The multiview active index is based on a dropdownlist selection, I found out that I need to put this line somewhere:

 Help with Code Tags 
 vb Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
MultiView2.ActiveViewIndex = DropDownList1.SelectedValue
End Sub
</script>
<script runat="server">
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) 
MultiView2.ActiveViewIndex = DropDownList1.SelectedValue
End Sub
</script>

My page has a masterpage, so the main page looks like this:

                </asp:MultiView>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
</asp:Content>

I have had people suggesting me to put it in the vb file like this:

Help with Code Tags

(Toggle Plain Text)

Partial Class list_pages_Details
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    'Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
    '    dim MultiView mv
    '    dim DropDownList ddl

    '    mv = (MultiView)FormView1.FindControl("MultiView2")
    '    ddl = (DropDownList)FormView1.FindControl("DropDownList1")

    '    mv.ActiveViewIndex = ddl.SelectedValue
    'End Sub

    Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

    End Sub
End Class

I tried putting the sub inside FormView, inside Edit Template, inside master file....
Anywhere I put it, same error:
name mv not declared....

Please help me, where can I put it, or how can I achieve what I need to do?

Thank you for your time!!!
