[RESOLVED] Code Not Executing (button)

[Eclyps19]

I'm just getting into ASP.NET, so please excuse my ignorance.

I've added a button to my page and have added code to the _Click event, but the code doesn't execute when clicked. I've put a break on each line but it runs right through when clicked. It's clearly not a problem with the code in this button since it doesn't execute it, but i'll toss it in here anyways just for fun.

Protected Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Context.Items.Add("custnum", txtSQL.Text)
        
        Server.Transfer("custnum.aspx", True)
    End Sub

I'm assuming it's something very simple. Any ideas? Yes, the button name is correct, btw.

Try

Protected Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSubmit.Click

Try

Protected Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdSubmit.Click

no good

no good

I added an additional button directly after my textbox and copied the code into there, which seems to work just fine. Here's a clip.

<p align="left">
    Please type the Customer Number:
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtSQL" runat="server" Width="660px" 
        ontextchanged="txtSQL_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
       'Works!
       <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" onclick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />
</p>
<p align="left">
       'Doesn't work!
        <asp:Button ID="cmdSubmit" runat="server" onclick="cmdSubmit_Click" 
        Text="Submit SQL" />
</p>

still can't figure out why one works and the other doesn't...

Is there any difference on the event handler signature of two buttons?

nothing other than the name

Protected Sub cmdSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

Hey,

Basically, events, like the Button Click event, need to be hooked up to their associated Event Handlers. In VB.net, this linkage happens with the use of the Handles Clause which rjv_rnjn pointed you at. Quite why this didn't work for you, I am at a loss to say, but one way to check would be the following:

1) In Design View, select your button
2) Bring up the Properties window, and then click the yello lightning bolt
3) Select the Event that you are interested in, in your case the click event, and then hit the drop down list beside (you may or may not already have a event handler specified.
4) Select the event handler that you want to associate with this event.

Here is a screen shot:



Hope that helps!!
