ASP.NET Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl) doesn't work

Question

I just want my asp.net webpage to reload after changing my combobox selected value. So I did

    protected void MyComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl);
    }

But when I change selection in my combo page is not reloaded.

Why, how to do so ?

The redirect you make here is reload the page and forget anything from previous selections, and viewstate. Only the post back can keep the previous data (and viewstate). — Aristos

Remove the Response.Redirect and only place the AutoPostBack=true - with other words, your question is how to make the Redirect to work, and I say, DO NOT make redirect, only set the AutoPostBack. — Aristos

Make sure you have defined the SelectedIndexChanged event on the control itself.

Edit: Enable AutoPostback on the control as well, like Abe Miessler points out.

AutoPostBack="true"  
OnSelectedIndexChanged="MyComboBox_SelectedIndexChanged"

Try setting autopostback = true. You haven't posted your markup but I suspect that would fix it.
