Obtaining selected item, value or index from drop down list in formview after button press
<p>I have a formview with an insertion template.  In this template there is a drop down list with a number of items I want users to be able to select from.  Beside the drop down list there is a button which I am using to add the selected item from the drop down list to a gridview which also exists in the insertion template.</p>

<p>My problem is that when I click the button to add the selected item from the drop down list the selected item, index or value from the drop down list are not available.  I am using a OnClick event handler to catch the event from the button click but I suspect there is some kind of refresh of the template going on here which I am not understanding as nothing appears to be accessible from the button event handler.  I don't believe a postback is occurring as I have disabled the CausesValidation property for my button.</p>
