Hi friends,

In the code behind side in an asp.net page,we have 2 dropdown controls the left one shows the type and right one the members with respect to the type.. Ex Gridview type at the left shows events associated with it at the right side like selectedindexchanged event... Sometimes events/members are not seen. Why does this happen?

Savita,
There is no need to put "....." or any other special characters in title.

There are many events omitted from the properties. There are at least two reasons for not showing them. One reason is that the message (event) is not used often. Another reason is that they might be difficult to use properly. The same possibilities exist for properties, except properties might be spelled differently in the interactive properties box that you are asking about.

If you're talking here about the properties and events for a control shown in the Properties Box, then in Windows Forms applications certain properties and events may be omitted from the display if they're what Microsoft calls 'infrastructure' meaning that they shouldn't normally be called from user code or if, for some reason, they can't be set in design mode.

I can't say that I've noticed this with ASP.NET applications where controls usually have a comparatively small number of properties or events to start with. Can you give a particular instance of a member that's not displayed and I'll look into it.
