Creating Attribute/Calling Server VB.NET Function

[Anonymous]

Here's my problem.

I'm using a TreeView that doesn't have dblclick as an attribute. So I
attempt to create an attribute for that but using below code:

Me.tvEntities.Attributes.Add("onclick", "ExpandNode()")

This is code for ExpandNode() in client side:

<script language="VBScript" runat="server">
Private Sub ExpandNode(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Textbox1.Text = "Hello!"
End Sub
</script>

For some reason, ExpandNode is not called. Did I write wrong code for
adding an attribute? Thanks in advance.

client code cannot call server code. you will have to use some postback
technique.

Bruce, does this means that when you try to add an attribute using
attributes.add, it means it can only call client code (ie., no runat="Server"
for a script tag)? Is that why my code failed? Thanks.
