html and asp.net

[tarik666]

Hey guys I am trying to use a html anchor tag with asp.net
here is the code

Protected Sub linkadd_ServerClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles linkadd.ServerClick
        Session("adduser") = "true"
        MsgBox(Session("adduser"))
End Sub

Here is my html

<li><a href="ChangeUser.aspx" id="linkadd" runat=server>Add User</a></li>

When I run the page it is running the error

do post back is not defined
javascript dopastback("linkadd")

There's an ASP.Net specific serverside control named LinkButton which you'll want to use:

<li><asp:linkbutton id="linkadd" runat="server" 
href="ChangeUser.aspx">Add User</asp:linkbutton></li>

I would suggest against using a Post Back for a hyperlink. Postbacks are typically synonymous with a button where as hyperlinks typically take you somewhere else.

Sorry, just trying to rid the world of evil one post back at a time

If you have the location defined - changeuser.aspx - then you don't need to perform your postback. If you need to pass other info to the next page, consider appending that in the querystring if it's not sensitive information.
