LoadControl() Postback and events

[Magiaus]

I am having a problemn where I am loading an UserControl. The user control has two buttons Move Up and Move Down.

The events are wired, and there is code in the buttons; but nothing happens. Even when I click the button. Nothing happens. Post back occurs but the event does not fire and my picture doesn't move up one in it's sequence.

I had the problem before and I messed with it for days and it started to work. I don't know or remember why. HELP!!!!



Thanks.

I'm seeing the problem again. The controls have to be loaded in the same order to load the viewstate and have postback work.

I just made a simple one page web that loads a control with a button. It works. When I click the button a label says clicked.

It works with ViewState disabled for the panel I'm loading too, but of cource only one control keeps the record of being clicked.

Business.Images.SourceCollection imgs = new Business.Images.SourceCollection(ProductExKey);
System.Web.UI.Control img;

pnl_newSourcePictures.Controls.Clear();
for(int i = 0; i < pnl_newSourcePictures.Controls.Count; i++)
{
pnl_newSourcePictures.Controls.RemoveAt(i);
}

if(imgs.Count > 0)
{
for(int i = 0; i < imgs.Count;i++)
{
img = LoadControl("../../UserControls/Forms/Edit/Images/SourceSequence.ascx");

((Web.UserControls.Forms.Edit.Images.SourceSequence)img).SourceKey = imgs[i].Key;
((Web.UserControls.Forms.Edit.Images.SourceSequence)img).ImageKey = imgs[i].ImageKey;

pnl_newSourcePictures.Controls.Add(img);
}
}

The Control loads fine and it in turn loads the image fine. But the events for the buttons won't fire. At first I was loading inside another user control but last night I put it on a page just to see... it didn't work there either.

I don't know. I know I had fixed this before somehow but I had thought SmartNavigation = true was causing it..... SmartNav is off......

[nemaroller]

Well since it worked before....

Problems I have experienced with events not wiring usually indicate the control is not matching up with the post data. So the framework ignores the events either because the control is reloading itself anew, instead of restructuring itself from the posted viewstate.

Your code seems pretty spot on,so my guess is during initialization, you are not assigning an ID for the control, so the framework gives it a new ID, thus the events don't wire.

Try explicitly declaring an ID for your control first during the Load, and see if that fixes it. Or it could be the ID's of the buttons...

[Magiaus]

It helps to declare your Control outside the method that loads it......

I had another glitch where it wasn't working after the first postback so I did what you suggested and set an id. It fixed everything.

thanks
