Ask Dr. Dotnetsky - Web control library button click event does not fire

Hi,

I have created a web control library project.

I created a button as follows:

Button btnAssign = new Button();

 btnAssign.CausesValidation = false;

 btnAssign.ID = "As1";

 btnAssign.Text = "...";

 btnAssign.Font.Name = "Arial";

 btnAssign.ForeColor = Color.Gray;

 btnAssign.Click += new EventHandler(this.btnAssign_Click);

and added it into a panel myPanel

myPanel.Controls.Add(btnAssign);

The rendering was done as follows:

protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output)

 {

            AddAttributesToRender(output);

            myPanel.RenderControl(output);

}

I have added a trace just to see whether it enters btnAssign_Click or not

private void btnAssign_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

        {

        Page.Trace.Warn("btnAssign_Click");

}

I created a web project to test the control and set the trace to true:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        WCL.myClass dc = new WCL. myClass();

         //Add to phDC place holder

        phDC.Controls.Add(dc);

    }

When the test page is loaded the button from the web control library appears.

When I click it nothing happens (does not enter btnAssign_Click).

Is there anything else I need to do?

Please help

Thanks

Unfortunately the even is not firing.

Make sure you are wiring things up in the proper place.
