I am facing a problem with an asp:ImageButton that doens't fire the onCommand event while im doing debug...
Im doing this on a .ascx file i dunno if it has something to do with it or not.
My html:
<asp:ImageButton ID="btnDel" runat="server" ImageUrl="images/delete_grey.png" CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "FileID")%>' OnCommand="btnDel_Command"/>
My code behind :
Protected Sub btnDel_Command(sender As Object, e As CommandEventArgs)
Dim sFileID As String = e.CommandArgument.ToString()
DeleteMessageFile(sFileID)
End Sub

I have a textbox event declarated but it doesn´t fire. I have seen in SO other answers but all of them say that autopostback property has been true and i have it
my aspx
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager2" runat="server" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtDia" Width="120px" Height="20px"
AutoPostBack="True" CssClass="textbox" OnTextChanged="txtDia_TextChanged"/>
<Juice:Datepicker ID="Datepicker2" runat="server" TargetControlID="txtDia"
DateFormat="dd/mm/yy"
MonthNames="Enero,Febrero,Marzo,Abril,Mayo,Junio,Julio,Agosto,Septiembre,Octubre,Noviembre,Diciembre"
MonthNamesShort="Ene,Feb,Mar,Abr,May,Jun,Jul,Ago,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dic,"
AutoPostBack="True" /></td>
and my aspx.vb
Protected Sub txtDia_TextChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles txtDia.TextChanged
CargarDatos()
End Sub
You should define your textbox like this (see OnTextChanged="txtDia_TextChanged" being added):
<asp:TextBox OnTextChanged="txtDia_TextChanged"
runat="server" ID="txtDia" Width="120px" Height="20px"
AutoPostBack="True" CssClass="textbox"/>
And remember that this event will rise onblur (focus removed from that textbox) only.
In your aspx you should write
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtDia" Width="120px" Height="20px"
AutoPostBack="True" CssClass="textbox" OnTextChanged="txtDia_TextChanged"/>
The event is not triggered if you overwrite the text in codebehind. So for example if you databind the control where the TextBox sits in.
You should so that only If Not IsPostBack:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(!IsPostback)
{
DataBindAllControls(); // including your textbox
}
}
Edit: Sorry, here VB.NET:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
DataBindAllControls() ' including your textbox
Else
End Sub
What FAngel said is correct.
I've had the same issue when validating dates and using jquery datepicker. I used the below to fire the validation routines after the box had been populated. So technically they fired twice, once after the textbox had lost focus to the datepicker, then again when my code fired after the datepicker had populated the textbox. It would have been better to disable the onblur event and call directly from the below, but wasn't possible in my project.
$('.datePicker').each(function () {
$(this).datepicker({
onSelect: function () {
$(this).trigger('blur');
}
});
});
You can use a variation on this by disabling the auto-postback and manually triggering it via the onSelect event.
You need to specify the method to be called when the event is fired like so:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtDia" Width="120px" Height="20px" OnTextChanged="txtDia_TextChanged" AutoPostBack="True" CssClass="textbox"/>
Note:
OnTextChanged="txtDia_TextChanged"
I need an advice how to correct my code. I am using FindControl method to find TextBox inside Repeater. This is my markup:
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1">
HERE ARE SOME OTHER DATA
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:FormView ID="FormViewAddComment" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSourceInsertComments" DefaultMode="Insert"
OnItemInserted="FormViewAddComment_ItemInserted"
OnItemInserting="FormViewAddComment_ItemInserting">
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtAddComment" runat="server" CssClass="textbox"
Text='<%# Bind("CommentText") %>' Width="200px" />
<asp:Button ID="btnAddComment" runat="server" CssClass="button"
Text="Comment" CommandName="Insert" CausesValidation="false"/>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
And this is my code behind:
Protected Sub FormViewAddComment_ItemInserting(sender As Object, e As FormViewInsertEventArgs)
Dim FormView As FormView = DirectCast(Repeater1.FindControl("FormViewAddComment"), FormView)
Dim Comment As TextBox = DirectCast(FormView.FindControl("txtAddComment"), TextBox)
If Comment.Text = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
The Comment TextBox is not found and the code throws an Object reference error when it tries to access the Text property.
You can find the textbox inside it using ItemDataBound event.
Thanks
You are accessing "txtAddComment" which is there in FormView,then why are you finding FormView in Repeater and then again in textbox in that...you can directly find out it...
Protected Sub FormViewAddComment_ItemInserting(sender As Object, e As FormViewInsertEventArgs)
If (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Insert)
Dim Comment As TextBox = DirectCast(FormViewAddComment.FindControl("txtAddComment"), TextBox)
If Comment.Text = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
EDIT:-
My point is that you are writting the code in ItemInserting Event of FormView,so there you can directly find the FormView.I would suggest to use NamingContainer property in oredr to find the FormView which has trigged the event,by this way you can find the FormView then you can easily find the TextBox in it.
There is example of NamingContainer for Gridview Here
i have a User Control.
In this user control I have a Repeater.
In this repeater I have again a User Control.
If I try to catch the click event of an ImageButton in this user control, I'm gettin nothing because the event has not been fired.
Is there a way to catch this event?
some code:
first user control:
<asp:Repeater ID="Rpt" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<uc1:myUserControl id="myUserControl1" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
in myUserControl
<asp:LinkButton ID="myUserControlBtn" runat="server" OnClientClick="thisEventIsFiring();" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="btn" />
This event isn't firing:
Protected Sub btn_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btn.Click
' I am not firing
End Sub
Also the following does not work because it returns nothing:
If Request(btn.UniqueID) IsNot Nothing
'check if Button was clicked
End If
It should be
<asp:LinkButton ID="myUserControlBtn" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="btn" />
I'm trying to make a tabbed menu for the asp.net website I'm working on. One of the pre-requisite is obviously to color the current tab differently, so the user can know on which tab is currently is.
To do this, I made this method in my code-behind:
Protected Function GetCssClass(ByVal ctrl As LinkButton) As String
If ctrl.ID = currentLink Then
Return "current"
Else
Return String.Empty
End If
End Function
and I call the method like this in my aspx page:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" PostBackUrl="/Default.aspx" CssClass="<%#GetCssClass(LinkButton1) %>" >Home</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" PostBackUrl="/Directory/page1.aspx" CssClass="<%#GetCssClass(LinkButton2) %>" >Page1</asp:LinkButton>
But the method is never hit... As I understand, the method should be called each time the LinkButton is drawn...
Does someone have an idea why?
Thanks in advance !
Edit: Just as a precision, all this code is in the masterpage.
Edit2: Here are the changes I made according to Quagland's suggestion.
In the aspx masterpage:
<asp:HiddenField ID="currentLink" runat="server" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" PostBackUrl="/Default.aspx" OnClick="LinkButton_Click" OnPreRender="LinkButton_PreRender" >Home</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" PostBackUrl="/OtherDirectory/Page1.aspx" OnClick="LinkButton_Click" OnPreRender="LinkButton_PreRender" >Page1</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" runat="server" PostBackUrl="/OtherDirectory/Page2.aspx" OnClick="LinkButton_Click" OnPreRender="LinkButton_PreRender" >Page2</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton4" runat="server" PostBackUrl="/OtherDirectory/Page3.aspx" OnClick="LinkButton_Click" OnPreRender="LinkButton_PreRender" >Page3</asp:LinkButton>
And in the code behind:
Protected Sub LinkButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click, LinkButton2.Click, LinkButton3.Click, LinkButton4.Click, LinkButton5.Click, LinkButton6.Click, LinkButton7.Click, LinkButton8.Click
Dim lnk As LinkButton = CType(sender, LinkButton)
currentLink.Value = lnk.ID
End Sub
Protected Function GetCssClass(ByVal ctrl As LinkButton) As String
If ctrl.ID = currentLink.Value Then
Return "current"
Else
Return String.Empty
End If
End Function
Protected Sub LinkButton_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.PreRender, LinkButton2.PreRender, LinkButton3.PreRender, LinkButton4.PreRender, LinkButton5.PreRender, LinkButton6.PreRender, LinkButton7.PreRender, LinkButton8.PreRender
Dim lnk As LinkButton = CType(sender, LinkButton)
lnk.CssClass = GetCssClass(lnk)
End Sub
The problem is now that the click event is not always fired. On first click, nothing happens, but on second click on a tab, the click event is correctly triggered. Any clue ?
Edit3: Could it be that the value stored in the hidden field is reset each time the masterpage is reloaded (I mean, each link points to a couple masterpage + content page) ?
You need to use <%= ... %> (i.e. replace # with =).
The hash form is used with data binding, you want to just create output.
For .NET 4 prefer <%: ... %> (use a colon) to automatically do HTML encoding.
I have quickly tested a solution that might work for you. I'm just not sure where your 'currentlink' variable comes from. I have implemented it as a hidden field here.
In Masterpage.aspx:
<asp:HiddenField ID="currentLink" runat="server" />
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server">Home</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server">Page1</asp:LinkButton>
In code behind:
use your original GetCssClass function add this:
Protected Sub LinkButton_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles LinkButton1.PreRender, LinkButton2.PreRender
Dim lnk As LinkButton = CType(sender, LinkButton)
lnk.CssClass = GetCssClass(lnk)
End Sub
I have put it in PreRender because i was using the LinkButton click events to set the hidden field value (and Click happens after Load but before PreRender):
Protected Sub LinkButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles LinkButton1.Click, LinkButton2.Click
Dim lnk As LinkButton = CType(sender, LinkButton)
currentLink.Value = lnk.ID
End Sub
also, if there are numerous Linkbuttons, you may want to declare like:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" OnClick="LinkButton_Click" OnPreRender="LinkButton_PreRender">Home</asp:LinkButton>
EDIT:
Here is another solution that will work with cross page postbacks. Not much code but you'll need to put some on every page. Anyway:
Masterpage.aspx:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" PostBackUrl="Default.aspx">Home</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" PostBackUrl="Page1.aspx">Page1</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" runat="server" PostBackUrl="Page2.aspx">Page2</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton4" runat="server" PostBackUrl="Page3.aspx">Page3</asp:LinkButton>
Masterpage.aspx.vb:
Public Sub SetCssClass(ByVal ctrl As String)
CType(FindControl(ctrl), LinkButton).CssClass = "current"
End Sub
All content pages:
*.aspx:
add this directive to create a strongly typed reference to the masterpage
<%# MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master" %>
*.aspx.vb:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Master.SetCssClass("LinkButton1") '' << put the name of the relevant link button here
End Sub
Set the CssClass in the code-behind. This will state your intent more clearly than calling DataBind on your linkbuttons if you use databinding syntax. Since you're doing it for multiple controls maybe stick them in a method called ApplyCssClasses.
I'm not sure why <%= %> isn't working but personally I don't like to mix code and markup, I like to keep them completely separate.
I would suggest setting the CSS class in code perhaps on the page load event.
lnkPopulate.CssClass = "current"
<%# ... %> will work if you're OK with doing LinkButton1.DataBind() in your code-behind at the appropriate time.
I have an ASP.Net page, which displays a list of options to the user. When they select from the list, it does a post back and queries a sql server. The results are displayed in a listview below the options in an update panel. Below is a snippet of the ItemTemplate:
<asp:LinkButton Text="Save IT" OnCommand="SaveIt" CommandArgument="<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>" runat="server" />
The DataItemIndex does not appear, so my commandargument is empty. However, the object sender is the button, which shows the item.
Why is the index item not appearing in the CommandArgument?
Could it be the post back? If so, why would it be the post back? Is there a way around it?
Edit:
Sorry, from my attempts to solve it before, I posted bad code, but it still isn't appearing.
Resolution:
I found another work around in that the sender of the OnCommand is the link button, which has the CommandArgument. I will chalk this issue up to be an issue with multiple postbacks and javascript.
You can't use the <%= %> syntax inside properties on a tag with a runat="server" attribute. I'm surprised the code will even run. :)
UPDATE:
You probably want to use the ItemDataBound event on the repeater, find the linkbutton and set the CommandArgument property.
Not very elegant, but here's a VB.NET sample.
Private Sub Repeater1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterItemEventArgs) Handles Repeater1.ItemDataBound
Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem
Dim b As LinkButton = e.Item.FindControl("btn")
b.CommandArgument = e.Item.ItemIndex
b.DataBind()
End Select
End Sub
You're not setting it
You possibly want
<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>
or
<%= Container.DataItemIndex %>
:)
Try
<asp:LinkButton Text="Save IT" OnCommand="SaveIt" CommandArgument="<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>" runat="server" />
You were missing the "#" sign.
This site really helped me with this problem: http://forums.asp.net/t/1671316.aspx
The issue I ran into was that I was being passed null arguments in the commandargument when I clicked on the button a second time. As the post above explains, this is because commandargument is only set in the databind event. So, to fix this, include a databind event in the page_load sub
Ex. (VB)
Private Sub BindSelectButtons()
'Purpose: bind the data to the select buttons for commandargument to be used
Dim i As Integer
For i = 0 To gridview1.Rows.Count - 1
gridview1.Rows(i).Cells(8).FindControl("btnID").DataBind()
Next
End Sub
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
'Rebind select buttons so that the commandargument refreshes
BindSelectButtons()
End Sub
Make sure View State is enabled
e.Row.EnableViewState = true;
