Question

I’m trying to fire an event when a user clicks a hyperlink. But it would complain that the event is not defined:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" onmouseover="btnSubmit_Click" runat="server">www.google.com</asp:HyperLink>
<asp:Button
    id="btnSubmit"
    Text="Submit"
    Runat="server"  />
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        btnSubmit.Text = "clicked a link!!!";
    }

Answer 1

I see several problems.

1. You do not have any sort of click event setup on your hyperlink. You do have a “onmouseover” but based on MSDN’s documentation there is no click event for that control.
2. You have a button defined, but no events associated with that button.
3. You have a function that appears to be an event handler, but the naming convention suggests that it is associated with the button that has no events.

Can you provide more detail of what you are trying to do? I assume the c# code you have posted resides in the code behind?

Update:

Try changing your code to this –

<asp:LinkButton ID="lb_Link" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" Text="www.google.com" runat="server" />

Obviously this will not redirect you, but based on what your code does, it doesn’t sound like you want a redirect…
