Question

I am trying to fire an event, by clicking a button, and it does not fire. The id is
"Update".

Instead of going to the event handling paragraph, code goes to the Page_Load method
and skips the Update_Click method. The event is wired to the Update_Click method.

I have done this before, and never had a problem. (The Update_Click) method is created
by double clicking the button “Update”).



For example –

public partial class WebForm2 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public string employee;
public decimal employeeDec;
public string empName;
public string date1;
public string date2;
public List<AccessForm> AccessFormList;
// following code skipped
protected void Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
AccessFormUpdateDB.UpdateSelectedEmployee(AccessFormList);
}


//code executes here
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

employee = ((TextBox)Page.Pr

There could be several reasons. But the most probable is that your event is not subscribed. You can do it in the markup <asp:Button
runat="server" id="Update" OnClick="Update_Clikck"/> or in code-behind on in
the Init or Page load event:





protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)



{

Update.Click += Update_Click;

}




Also make sure you don't have anywhere in the code something that overrides event subscription or reinitializes button like Update=new Button();
