Trigger an ImageClick from a selecteditemchanged changed

[dhnriverside]

Hi guys

I have a search system with a textbox and an image button. You click the
image to perform the search. Works fine.

However, the matter is complicated by a drop down list, which gives you a
number of search options (search cotacts, search projects, etc).

Basically, I want to call the search function from the onchange event of the
drop down. I could write the search code into 2 functions, but I just
wondered if there was an easier way?

At the moment both function want different EventArgs
(System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs and System.EventArgs).

Any ideas?

Cheers

Make on general function that both events call

void OnImageClick(object sender, System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
PerformSearch(MyTextBox.Text);
}

void OnDropDownChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PerformSearch(MyTextBox.Text);
}

void PerformSearch(string str)
{
//Common code goes here
}
