Question

From the documentation here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.login.layouttemplate.aspx i had customized the user interface of login control through layout template like below

<LayoutTemplate>
                    <h3 class="login-title page-header">
                        <asp:Literal runat="server" ID="loginHeading" Text="Sign-in"></asp:Literal>
                    </h3>
                    <div class="clearfix">
                        <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblUserName" Text="Username" AssociatedControlID="UserName"></asp:Label>
                        <div class="input">
                            <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="UserName"></asp:TextBox>
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="rfvTxtUserName" ErrorMessage="Username is required"
                                ControlToValidate="UserName" Text="Username is required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="clearfix">
                        <asp:Label runat="server" Text="Password" AssociatedControlID="Password"></asp:Label>
                        <div class="input">
                            <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Password" TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
                            <asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ID="rfvTxtPassword" ErrorMessage="Password is required"
                                ControlToValidate="Password" Text="Password is required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="clearfix">
                        <asp:Label runat="server" Text="Remember Me" AssociatedControlID="RememberMe"></asp:Label>
                        <div class="input">
                            <input type="checkbox" runat="server" id="RememberMe" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="actions action-fix">
                        <asp:Button runat="server" ID="Login" Text="Login" CssClass="btn success small" />
                        <input type="reset" class="btn small" value="reset" />
                    </div>
                </LayoutTemplate>

as you can see i did name the control ID as required by the control. Also i use CSS Friendly control adapter for rendering the Login control.

The Problem

It just happens after user types username and password and submits the details nothing happens the page just reloads causing a postback.

• What am i doing wrong here

info:
more problem seems to be more prominent for users using LoginControlAdapter look here http://forums.asp.net/t/1043974.aspx/2/10

Answer 1

you must be missing CommandName paramter

  <asp:button id="Login" CommandName="Login" runat="server" Text="Login"></asp:button>
