Access selected value of drop down that was populated with query from a codebehind

I've got a set of cascading drop downs that populate with JQuery ajax. However when the user presses submit (at the end of the rest of the form) i need to post back and get the values of the drop downs. since they have been populated client side ASP.NET FREAKS OUT.

It tells me to make EnableEventValidation="false"

So i do that but it still doesn't get the correct value. It only gets a value that has been bound using the code behind.

Does anybody know how to access values of drop downs (or any input) that have been created outside of the code behind?

Solution

  • Try to read the POST value directly using the Request.Form or Request.Params collections. I think this circumvents the checking that ASP.NET does.
