asp.net/VB: user control in repeater - catch click event of button - asp.net

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" />

Asp:ImageButton not firing onCommand event

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

Repeater FooterTemplate Button Click Event Not being handled

When debugging, clicking on btnSignup does not hit the breakpoint on the first line of my btnSignup_Click event.
Just to see if it'd help I removed the datasourceID from the repater and created a Sub routine to databind the repeater on page_load if-not-isPostback. That didn't help.
What do I need to do to get my btnSignup to fire my btnSignup_Click event?
I have this on my ASCX
<asp:Repeater ID="rptParticipants" runat="server" DataSourceID="sdsParticipants">
<ItemTemplate>
<p class="participant"><span class="participant-number"><%# Container.ItemIndex + 1 %>.</span> <span class="participant-name"><%# Container.DataItem("name")%></span></p>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<br />
<asp:Literal ID="litBlanks" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
<div class="text-center">
<asp:Button ID="btnSignup" runat="server" Text="Sign Me Up" CssClass="btnSignup" OnClick="btnSignup_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnRemove" runat="server" Text="Remove Me" CssClass="btnRemove" OnClick="btnRemove_Click" />
</div>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
I have this on my ASCX.vb
Public Sub btnSignup_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs)
CheckAvailability() 'Breakpoint on this line
'more code here
End Sub
Try using the ItemCommand Event on the Repeater to handle your button clicks. Replace the OnClick Attribute with the CommandName as shown below:
<asp:Button ID="btnSignup" runat="server" Text="Sign Me Up" CssClass="btnSignup" CommandName="SignUp" />
Next, create an event handler for your Repeater's ItemCommand Event:
Protected Sub rptParticipants_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs) Handles rptParticipants.ItemCommand
If e.CommandName = "SignUp" Then
btnSignup_Click(Me, New System.EventArgs)
End If
End Sub

ItemCommand of DataList in UpdatePanel is not fired on Postback

I have a popup panel which contains an UpdatePanel, which contains a DataList. Table rows are populated using ItemTemplate and there is a LinkButton generated on each row for deleting this row. I would like to delete this record in the DataList's ItemCommand event handler and rebind the DataList.
However, after I click a "delete" button in the DataList, ItemCommand is not fired. I've already checked if IsPostBack in my Page_Load and only do Datalist.Databind() if it's not a postback. Normally I would expect first Page_Load and then list_ItemCommand being called after I click a delete button in the DataList, but list_ItemCommand is not called as expected. And nothing is then displayed in DataList which is inside the UpdatePanel.
And stranger, if I remove the IsPostBack check in Page_Load, that being said, rebind the DataList in every Page_Load, ItemCommand will be caught and list_ItemCommand is called. This is against the answers in many other posts "ItemCommand event will be canceled if DataList is rebinded during PostBack".
Code behind:
Protected records As New List(Of Record)
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Set some page properties...
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
GetListOfRecordFromDatabase()
datalist.DataSource = records
datalist.DataBind()
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub datalist_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListCommandEventArgs) Handles datalist.ItemCommand
Select Case e.CommandName.ToLower
Case "delete"
For Each c As Record In records
If c.Id = e.CommandArgument Then
records.Remove(c)
Exit For
End If
Next
DeleteRecordFromDatabase(e.CommandArgument)
datalist.DataSource = records
datalist.DataBind()
End Select
End Sub
Controls:
<asp:Content ID="content1" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="Content1PlaceHolder">
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnpopup" runat="server" OnClientClick="javascript:return popup()"></asp:LinkButton>
<asp:ScriptManagerProxy ID="ScriptManagerProxy1" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" >
</asp:ScriptManagerProxy>
<asp:Panel ID="PanelPopup" runat="server" style="display:none;">
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UPPopup" runat="server" UpdateMode="conditional" EnableViewState="false">
<ContentTemplate>
<div id="divPopup1" runat="server">
<table id="table1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="500" border="0" >
<asp:DataList ID="datalist" runat="server" OnItemCommand="datalist_ItemCommand">
<ItemTemplate>
<tr align="center">
<td><%#Container.ItemIndex +1 %></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# eval("Name") %>'></asp:Label></td>
<td><asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# eval("Color") %>'></asp:Label></td>
<td><asp:LinkButton ID="Delete" CommandName="Delete" runat="server" Text="Delete" CommandArgument='<%# eval("Id") %>' ></asp:LinkButton></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
</table>
</div>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
<div style="text-align:center;"><br />
<asp:Button ID="BtnSavePopup" runat="server" Text="Save and Close"/>
</div>
</asp:Panel>
<script type="text/javascript">
function popup() {
return mypagehelper.openAsModalPopup("<% =PanelPopup.ClientID%>");
}
</script>
</asp:Content>
Further more, I tried to grab the ControlID and the Control who raised the event during Postback using this code:
If IsPostBack Then
Dim CtrlID As String = String.Empty
If Request.Form("__EVENTTARGET") IsNot Nothing And
Request.Form("__EVENTTARGET") <> String.Empty Then
CtrlID = Request.Form("__EVENTTARGET")
Dim postbackControl As System.Web.UI.Control = Page.FindControl(CtrlID)
Else
End If
And I found that I can get my CtrlID as "ctl00$datalist$ctl08$Delete" but the postbackControl is Nothing. While on my other normal pages I can get both the controlID and actual control(which is a LinkButton) who raised the event.
Remove EnableViewState="false" from update panel.
it's late answer but i faced in soon, also may be it help some one else ...
the CommandName="Delete" is reserved for DataList "OnItemDeleting" Event
so just changing the CommandName to anything else (for example "Remove") will help or handle the OnItemDeleting Event.

In ASP.NET, how do I change the visibility of a button in the same column of a gridview itemtemplate when the other button is clicked?

I have the following gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="gridOpenMECs" runat="server">
<Columns>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="btnShow" runat="server" ImageUrl="xxx.png"
OnClick="btnShow_OnClick" />
<asp:ImageButton ID="btnHidden" runat="server"
ImageUrl="yyy.png" Visible="false" />
</ItemTemplate>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
When button1's onclick serverside event is fired I want to obtain a handle on button2 so that I may change its Visible attribute to True.
Protected Sub btnShow_OnClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ImageClickEventArgs)
Dim btn as ImageButton = CTYPE(sender, ImageButton) 'get the sending button handle
'' what next to make btnHidden visible?
End Sub
How can I accomplish this? Thank you.
Sorry, C# speak ...
GridViewRow whichrow = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
ImageButton btnHidden = (ImageButton)whichrow.FindControl("btnHidden")

textChanged event doesn´t fire and i have autopostback=true

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"
