ComboBox Server Side Event in ASP.NET

Home > How to > ComboBox Server Event

What are the asp.net combobox server-side events used for? Sometimes, the ComboBox Control may have to respond to the events with complex actions. And these complex actions can not be performed using client-side APIs. Under this condition, we may need to trigger the server-side events in response to these complex actions. And the asp.net ComboBox Control offers several server-side events and APIs which will be fully illustrated in this guiding page.

Available Server-side Events for ComboBox Control

Here we demonstrate a list of server-side events that are supported by the web ComboBox Control.

ItemsRequested: this server-side event is called when the load-on-demand mechanism needs to add items to the combobox.
ItemCreated: this event fires when a new item is added to the items collection of the combobox object.
ItemDataBound: this event is raised when an item is being bound to a data value.
SelectedIndexChanged: this event is raised when the selected item has been just changed.
TextChanged: this event occurs when the text in the input area of combobox has been changed.
CheckAllCheck: this event occurs when the state of the check all items check box is changed.
