C# 动态级联下拉

我有两个下拉列表

类别

子类别

如果选择了一个类别，则第二个下拉列表将自动更新，因此我为第一个下拉列表编写了以下代码：

public void bindcategory()
{         
    DataTable dt = new BALCate().GetCate();        
    DropDownList dropdownlist = new DropDownList();
    foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
    {
        ListItem listitem = new ListItem();
        listitem.Text = dr["cate_name"].ToString();
        dropdownlist.Items.Add(listitem);            
    }
    cate_search.Controls.Add(dropdownlist);
}

但是，编写第二个下拉代码时出现了一些错误，并且还混淆了如何获取第一个下拉选择值，因为第一个下拉列表声明在bindcategory（）块中，这就是为什么它不能在其他块中访问的原因。那么我应该怎么做呢

public void bindsubcategory()
{
     //error (selected cate_id from 1st dropdown cant accessed due to scop problem)
     DataTable dt = new BALCate().GetSubCate(   //some cate_id   ); 

     // what should the code here?
}

还有其他方法吗？

您遗漏了一些东西。请参见下面的示例代码

public void bindcategory()
{         
    DataTable dt = new BALCate().GetCate();        
    DropDownList dropdownlist = new DropDownList();
    //SET AutoPostBack = true and attach an event handler for the SelectedIndexChanged event. This event will fire when you change any item in the category dropdown list.
    dropdownlist.AutoPostBack = true;
    dropdownlist.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(dropdownlist_SelectedIndexChanged);
    foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
    {
        ListItem listitem = new ListItem();
        listitem.Text = dr["cate_name"].ToString();
        listitem.Value= dr["cate_id"].ToString();
        dropdownlist.Items.Add(listitem);            
    }
    cate_search.Controls.Add(dropdownlist);
}

void dropdownlist_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e){
    //Grab the selected category id here and pass it to the bindSubCategory function.
    bindSubCategory(Convert.ToInt32((sender as DropDownList).SelectedValue)); 
}

public void bindsubcategory(int categoryId)
{
     DataTable dt = new BALCate().GetSubCate(categoryId);
     //Bind this data to the subcategory dropdown list 
}
