I still consider myself to be a novice with ASP.NET, and going through the
samples in my books is not helping me spot the problem. I very often find
my answer after I've posted so maybe it will happen again? :-)
I'm having trouble getting an ButtonColumn click event to fire. I set a
break point in the event method and it doesn't break.
here's my Datagrid in the ASPX file:
<asp:datagrid id="dgdSearchRe sults" runat="server"
OnItemCommand=" dgdSearchResult s_ItemCommand">
<HeaderStyle CssClass="Title "></HeaderStyle>
</asp:datagrid>
In my code-behind I have this:
protected void dgdSearchResult s_ItemCommand(o bject sender,
DataGridCommand EventArgs e)
{
string strFunctionName = "dgdSearchResul ts_ItemCommand" ;
long lngAuthorID = 0;
CISTable.User oUser;
if (e.CommandName == "Select")
{
//An author was selected to be added to the Author hidden element
this.hidAuthorI D.Value = e.Item.ItemInde x;
}
}
At design time I add a ButtonColumn to the Datagrid before I bind my
DataSet:
btn.ButtonType = ButtonColumnTyp e.PushButton;
btn.HeaderText = "Select";
btn.CommandName = "Select";
btn.DataTextFie ld = "AuthorID"
btn.Text = "Select";
this.dgdSearchR esults.Columns. Add(btn);
btn = null;
That didn't work so I added this to the InitializeCompo nent() method:
this.dgdSearchR esults.ItemComm and += new
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridCommandEven tHandler(this.d gdSearchResults _
ItemCommand);
Still no luck. All the other buttons, not in a Datagrid are firing the
_click events and running the methods properly, but thie button in the grid
will not. Everything appears correctly in the web browser, but when the
Button is clicked, the dgdSearchResult s_ItemCommand is never entered and the
code is not executed. It only goes through Page_Load and not through the
events method.
Can anybody tell me what I'm missing before I go insane???

PS: I ran a few searches in the KB articles, but found nothing that would
help.
