I have an ASCX user control with a drop down list inside an ASPX (C#)
page.  The user selects an item from the DDL, clicks a button, and the
DDL.SelectedValue is supposed to be sent to another function.  However,
the SelectedValue is always the first value in the DDL.  I have tried
several methods to work around this including the examples at:

http://odetocode.com/Articles/116.aspx

Everytime however no matter what method is used, I cannot get the true
SelectedValue of the drop down list.

All the functions required are inside the ASCX page, there is nothing
needing to be called in the parent ASPX or C# code-behind.

Any ideas?!  Thanks in advance!
