Question

I have a ListView with LinkButtons. I’m using the OnItemCommand method with a CommanName in order to open a Dialog.

If the user click on the LinkButton, I want that to open a Dialog (with controls, etc). But I every time I get the same Error:

System.InvalidOperationException: The ListView “myListView” has one
SelectedIndexChanging-Event execute, which was not treated.

My Code: aspx

            </tr>

        </AlternatingItemTemplate>

        </asp:ListView>

...

c# code:

protected void myListView_ItemCommand(object sender, ListViewCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.CommandName == "Select")
            {
                txtVorname.Text = "test";

                PopUpDialog.Show();  //<-- Here is the error 

            }
        }

It is a mystery that I can open the Dialog using a Button (for testing), but not with the LinkButton.

Answer 1

You just need to handle the SelectedIndexChanging event in the ListView.

Markup

<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="myListView" OnItemCommand="myListView_ItemCommand"
    OnSelectedIndexChanging="myListView_SelectedIndexChanging" >

Code-behind:

protected void myListView_SelectedIndexChanging(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

There are certain events in the ListView that need to be handled if they fire. If those events attempt to fire (like clicking a list item that has a “CommandName” of “Select” firing the SelectedIndexChanging event) and they are not handled, you get an error like the one you mentioned.
