Working with ASP.NET DropDownList item not working - need an event?

I am working with ASP.NET

I have a DropDownList item and in there i have hyperlinks as values. What event must i use in my code behind to redirect the user to that URL when he selects the "eRate" item?

My code

   <asp:DropDownList ID="dropSelect" runat="server" Width="126px">
        <asp:ListItem>Please select</asp:ListItem>
        <asp:ListItem Value="http://www.erate.co.za">eRate</asp:ListItem>
    </asp:DropDownList>

thanks in advance!!

add a onselectedindexchanged to the dropdown like this 

OnSelectedIndexChanged="dropSelect_OnSelectedIndexChanged"

then codebehind you can do like this.

protected void dropSelect_OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect(dropSelect.SelectedValue);
    }

you can do some extra null check and all that but this is the basic idea you can use
