Drop Down List Event failed to execute

In my drop-down list, the SelectedIndexChanged event is not firing. I set AutoPostBack="True" but it's still not firing. Setting EnableViewState to True or False makes no difference either.

Here's my code:

<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlSheerName" runat="server" Width="250" AutoPostBack="True"
 OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlSheerName_SelectedIndexChanged"></asp:DropDownList>

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    loggedInUserId = Convert.ToString(Session["LoggedInUserId"]);
    if (loggedInUserId == "")
    {
        Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
    }
    if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
    {
        BindCompanyDropDown();

    }
}

protected void ddlSheerName_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Bindcolumnname();
}

public void BindCompanyDropDown()
{
    try
    {
        objData = new DBFile();
        DataSet dsCompanies = objData.GetCompaniesList(loggedInUserId);
        if (dsCompanies != null)
        {
            if (dsCompanies.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
            {
                ddlselectcompany.DataSource = dsCompanies;
                ddlselectcompany.DataTextField = "CompanyName";
                ddlselectcompany.DataValueField = "CompanyID";
                ddlselectcompany.DataBind();
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        lblMsg.Text = ex.Message;
    }
}

Is your event registred in the designer?
Select the dropdown and check the events assigned to it.

Viewstate must be enabled for this particular code to work and Javascript must be enabled for AutoPostBack to function.

The dropdown itself doesn't cause the event to fire.

You must actually change the selected item for the event to fire.
