无法在中继器内的文本框中捕获下拉列表中的选定值

Question

I have a DropDownList inside a repeater and whenever the selected text is changed, I have to show it in a TextBox but I'm getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object error

protected void Ddl_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DropDownList ddl   = (DropDownList)  sender;
    RepeaterItem item  = (RepeaterItem)  ddl .NamingContainer;
    TextBox txt        = (TextBox) item.FindControl("TextBox4");
    txt.Text           = ddl.SelectedItem.Text;
}

Answer 1

Just enable Ddl dropdowns autopost back property to true and just add following line of code:

protected virtual void RepeaterItemCreated(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    DropDownList MyList = (DropDownList)e.Item.FindControl("ddl");
    MyList.SelectedIndexChanged += ddl_SelectedIndexChanged;
}

protected void Ddl_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     RepeaterItem item  = (RepeaterItem)  Page.FindControl("repeatorid");
     TextBox txt        = (TextBox) item.FindControl("TextBox4");
     txt.Text           = ddl.SelectedItem.Text;     
 }
