Event Bubbling From The HeaderTemplate

Nathan Sokalski

I have three LinkButtons in the HeaderTemplate of my DataList (I use them to
let the user determine what to sort the list by). I am assuming that the
event will be bubbled to the ItemCommand event (since that is the default
and I did not supply a CommandName). However, I need to determine which of
the three LinkButtons triggered the event. How can I do this? Thanks.

It's the 'sender' parameter in the event handler.

Sorry to burst your Event Bubble, but that is incorrect. First of all, the
ItemCommand uses "source", not "sender". Second, the value of "source" will
always be the DataList that the event was bubbled from, not the control that
triggered the event. One thing that I noticed, I haven't had time to look
into it yet, but while I was testing some other code of mine that uses event
bubbling, I noticed that in the Trace information there is a value (I don't
know if it's a variable or not) called __EVENTTARGET which has the value of
the control which triggered the event bubbling. If Trace can get at this
value, I was wondering if there might be a way to get at it through some
kind of system variable? If anyone knows anything about this, I would like
to know. Thanks.

Can't you set the ItemCommand for the LinkButtons? This will still
raise the DataList's ItemCommand event, and you can do:

If e.CommandName = "..." Then
...
ElseIf e.CommandName = "..." Then
...
ElseIf e.CommandName = "..." Then
...
End If
Where "..." is the ItemCommand values for the various LinkButtons.

Question about event bubbling

by: john | last post by:

I1. notice that if you have an onclick event for both the document and for a particular element, the onclick for the element is called first and then it bubbles up to the one for the document. Is it possible to have an onclick event that is at the document level that is called first? I would like to intercept it there and return false so that it doesn't bubble down to the element level. 2. On a completely unrelated topic, is it possible...

Event Bubbling and the ItemCommand Event

by: Nathan Sokalski | last post by:

I am using a DataList with Event Bubbling. When I bubble an event, the ItemCommand event is always called before the bubble event specified in the CommandName property. Is this ASP.NET's way of making ItemCommand the default bubble event, or is there another reason for it? I always thought the purpose of ItemCommand was to use for a purpose other than cancelling, deleting, editing, or updating an item, but it does not seem like that was...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
