Button event in DataList

[David W. Simmonds]

I have a Button in a DataList Footer. I add the click event like this:

void Item_DataBound(Object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Footer)
{
Button ctlSave = (Button)e.Item.FindControl("ctlSave");
ctlSave.Click += new EventHandler(ctlSave_Click);
}
}

It seems that the ctlSave_Click method is never called though. Am I doing
this right?

Hi,

you'd need to wire this event in ItemCreated. I don't think the code ever
reaches Footer in ItemDataBound as footer isn't bindable item by default. In
ItemCreated Footer is always accessed (Footer item created), so that way it
should work.
