AJAX extenders are designed to be used in update panels.  If you have some reason you can't use an update panel I recommend that you use two seperate regular ASP.Net DDLs.  When the parent DDL is updated, on the selected index updated event set the datasource for your child DDL to be a SQL query which uses the foreign key on the parent table to select the values from the child table.
For example, on the selected index changed event for the Parent, set a string: theSQL = "SELECT Value, Key from dbo." + ParentDDL.Value " Order By Value"
The following illustrates how to do something like that.  Modify it so that you set theSQL on the Parent DDL's selected index changed, the do a postback, and set the Child DataSource to theSQL and bind the child list in the child's PreRender event.
