AutoPostback for DropDownList in asp.net

When I set AutoPostback=True for DropDownList, then only the SelectedIndexChanged event is fired otherwise not...

I want to fire the event even when AutoPostback=false....

Is there any solution for this...

 <asp:DropDownList ID="SlotDuration_DDL" runat="server" Style="color: #727272 !important; font-size: 24px; font-weight: 100;" CssClass="span2" OnSelectedIndexChanged="SlotDuration_DDL_SelectedIndexChanged">

      <asp:ListItem>10</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>15</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>20</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>25</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>30</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>35</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>40</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>45</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>50</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>55</asp:ListItem>
      <asp:ListItem>60</asp:ListItem>
  </asp:DropDownList>

code behind

protected void SlotDuration_DDL_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   DateTime dt = DateTime.Parse(StartDate_TB.Text);
        int n = Int32.Parse(EventDuration_DDL.SelectedItem.ToString());
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            Label NewLabel = new Label();
            NewLabel.ID = "Label" + i;
            var eventDate = dt.AddDays(i); //Calendar1.SelectedDate.Date.AddDays(i);
            NewLabel.Text = eventDate.ToLongDateString();

            CheckBox newcheck = new CheckBox();
            newcheck.ID = "CheckBox" + i;

            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<span class='h1size'>"));
            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(NewLabel);
            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</span>"));
            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<div class='make-switch pull-right' data-on='info'>"));
            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(newcheck);
            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</div>"));
            this.Labeldiv.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br/>"));

        }
 }

SelectedIndexChanged event is fired even if you set AutoPostback to false. But the page does not postback immediately.

So If the user change the selection of the DDL and then (possibly after doing other things in the page) clicks in a button submiting the page (postback) The handler for this event will be called.

I think you want to set autopostback to false because the whole page is refreshing, to overcome this issue you can use update panel . keep drop down in updatepanel and set autopostback to true. only the portion inside the updatepanel will go to server and will call selectedindexchanged event and your page will not refresh. below link will give you some idea about update panel http://geekswithblogs.net/ranganh/archive/2007/05/16/112525.aspx

 <form ID="form1" runat="server">
  ....dropdown
</form>

Thats possible, but not using events at code behind. You will need to try using JS/JQuery.

Check here.
