Question

I have a button which needs to get created dynamically but the problem is I cannot set the OnClick property of it for it to run the server side method btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

If I do:

btnSubmit.Attributes["OnClick"] = "btnSubmit_Click()";

it actually adds it to the OnClientClick instead.

btnSubmit.Click += new EventHandler(btnSubmit_Click);

also never fires.

How can I set the actual server OnClick?

Answer 1

Bind event in Page_PreInit

 public Button btnSubmit; // Add the on class level as data member

Protected void Page_PreInit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       btnSubmit = new Button();        
       btnSubmit.Text = "Click me";           
       btnSubmit.Click +=new EventHandler(btnSubmit_Click);
       this.form1.Controls.Add(btnSubmit); 
}

Add this event.

void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   throw new NotImplementedException();
}
