Question

I have a page with a repeater and a button. (quite simple)

My repeater have an event rptEtats_ItemCreated raised OnItemCreated

<asp:Repeater ID="rptEtats" runat="server" OnItemCreated="rptEtats_ItemCreated">
    <ItemTemplate>

    </ItemTemplate>

</asp:Repeater>

CodeBehind:

public void rptEtats_ItemCreated(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    //Stuff
}

The button on the page raise a OnClick event

<asp:Button ID="btnValid" runat="server" Text="Valid" OnClick="btnValid_click" />

CodeBehind:

public void btnValid_click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   //Stuff
}

It’s work fine until I click on the button, I expect the btnValid_click method but the rptEtats_ItemCreated method is called first! I don’t understand why. Is the page load again before call the button method? Why the repeater is databinding again?

Answer 1

You have to cal rptEtats.Databind(); at Page_Init, that is before view state is loaded. In that case controls would be re-created properly and button onclik would be fired.
