This is I believe a serious problem.
While writing a web application
Using MS Web Developer 2010 Express, I noticed a rather disconcerting
behavior of the asp:DropDownlist control. When using databinding and
you assign a DataValueField the selectedIndexChanged does not fire or
change
unless the value of the DataValueField changes no matter what the
value of the DataTextField. This means that if I have several
different text values (States/Provinces) with the same datavalue
(US/Canada) I cannot fire an event if the text changes
(the textchanged does not fire either) as long as the datavalue
doesn't change (all States are US all Provinces are CA). This would
seem to be a counter intuitive behavior?
