Hello all,
I have a form in which I'm trying to load a user control depending on
some user choice, and my control's events are not firing properly.
Here's a completely stripped down repro of the problem:
The form itself is empty:
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server" />
</body>
and here's the code behind for the form:
protected override void OnInit( EventArgs e )
{
string currentControl = "UC1";
object objCurrentContr ol = Session["CurrentControl "];
if( objCurrentContr ol != null )
currentControl = (string)objCurr entControl;
form1.Controls. Add( LoadControl( currentControl + ".ascx" ) );
}
The first user control:
===============
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeFile="UC1.a scx.cs"
Inherits="UC1" %>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button 1_Click"
Text="Create UC2" />
and the code behind:
protected void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
Control ctl = LoadControl( "UC2.ascx" );
ctl.ID = "UC2";
Parent.Controls .Add( ctl );
HttpContext.Cur rent.Session["CurrentControl "] = "UC2";
Parent.Controls .Remove( this );
}
The second user control:
=============== ===
<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup ="true" CodeFile="UC2.a scx.cs"
Inherits="UC2" %>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button 1_Click"
Text="Create UC1" />
and the code behind:
protected void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
Control ctl = LoadControl( "UC1.ascx" );
ctl.ID = "UC1";
Parent.Controls .Add( ctl );
Parent.Controls .Remove( this );
HttpContext.Cur rent.Session["CurrentControl "] = "UC1";
}
and here's the problem:
When I run this, the page loads fine, with UC1. I click on the button
in UC1, the form gets posted, and comes back with UC2. Now if I click
on the button in UC2, the form gets posted, but comes back with UC2
itself instead of UC1. I click on the button in UC2 again, and now the
form comes back with UC1! It seems that the control loads fine, but the
button click event defined inside the user control will not fire the
first time, but only the second time.
I'm from the WinForms world and I'm new to the WebForms, so I might be
missing something obvious. Could anyone kindly point out what I'm doing
wrong? I've been scratching my head for the past two days without
making any progress. Thanks a lot in advance for your time.
