Question

I am creating dynamic controls, in that one control is a button.
I used the following code to add the button control.

Button btnContinue = new Button();
btnContinue.Attributes.Add("class", "button");
btnContinue.ID = "btnContinue";
btnContinue.Text = "Continue";
btnContinue.CausesValidation = false;
btnContinue.Click += new EventHandler(btnContinue_Click);                
lineAdd.Controls.Add(btnContinue);

And the button click event as below.

protected void btnContinue_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ...
}

This event is not firing. Any idea why this is not firing the event. Please correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks in Advance.

Make sure your are creating that button early enough in the page lifecycle. Look to get it created OnInit of the Page.

This is because the event handling events happen after Page Init. Of course the button has to have been created before the events can detected on it. The joy of web forms…
