Wiring Up Events Nightmare

[Eldon Ferran de Pol]

I'm trying the dynamically wire up events for a load of LinkButtons contained
within an <asp:Table>. For some reason if I try and do this outside the
Page_Load event my events simply don't fire despite the correct postback code
being added on the client and the postback taking place.

Can anyone help please?

Hi,
The events need to be wired up at the correct place in execution
sequence.

ie. if you add the handler for the LinkButton_Click event in the code of
SomeOtherSub then the event isn't wired up when the .net engine looks for an
event handler for the linkbutton's click event:

Page_Load
LinkButton_Click
SomeOtherSub

Does this make sense? I'm sure that someone who knows their stuff could
explain this a lot better than I can - the basic point is that you need to
wire up your events dynamically before the event handler is called in the
sequence. Page_load is the obvious place to do this

Try to wire them up during Page_Init. That's what VS.NET generates for a C#
program if you add the events in the designer.
