Avoid the Page_Load after clicking dropdownlist

Jul 8th, 2008

I have a user control dropdownlist, and its intended that when a user selects any item from dropdownlist , then accordingly image is displayed on the same form.

My problem is, when i select once from dropdownlist then , the page is going through the page_load and after clicking again the second time, it again walks through page_load and diretly displayes image

My question is, is it possible to avoid the page_load in any way ? & to load when i select the item first time from the dropdownlist ??

please help me to resolve this...

wrap your code in the page load event handler with the following:
if(!IsPostBack)
{
//your code
}

Due to lack of freedom of speech, i no longer post on this website.

If you want the code inside the Page_load to execute just the first time the page loads and prevent it from executing subsequently, put this part of code inside an if not IsPostBack block

 Help with Code Tags 
 asp.net Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
 
 If Not IsPostBack Then
 
' Code here that needs to be executed only on first page_load
 
End If
End Sub
 
 Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

 If Not IsPostBack Then

' Code here that needs to be executed only on first page_load

End If
End Sub

IsPostBack is a Boolean property of a page when is set (=true) when a page is first loaded. Thus, the first time that the page loads the IsPostBack is false and for subsequent PostBacks, it is true.
