event handling in a user control

[Sridhar]

Hi,

I have created a web page which includes a place holder. I also have a
dropdown list in that webpage. when I select one of the choices in that
dropdown list, It will load a user control into the place holder. This is
done dynamically based on the choice they selected. This user control has a
datagrid in it that supports paging. When I click on the next or prev buttons
of the datagrid in a user control it should display the next page results.
but it is not doing so. I am not knowing how to call the PageIndexChanged
event of the user control from the webpage. could anyone show me a code
sample to do that? I am using VB.NET for this.

Thanks,
Sridhar.

Dynamically loading controls must be done during the Page.Init event handling
(page initialization stage) otherwise they would lose they ViewState and
their events would not fire. So if you added a control based on a
SelectedIndexChanged, it is added late in the page lifecycle and you have to
persist a condition that allows you to reload it during the page.init event
handling, otherwise no response would happen to any of its events.

Dynamically added controls need to be readded on postback. If you don't
add it back, how can an event ever be fired for it, it doesn't exist!.

You can use Denis Bauer's DynamicControlsPlaceholder (free):
http://www.denisbauer.com/ASPNETCont...aceholder.aspx
which automatically re-adds dynamic controls on postback, or you can do it
yourself. Here's a dummy example:

sub Page_Load()
if Page.IsPostBack AndAlso not ViewState("controlToReload) is nothing then
plc.Controls.Add(cstr(ViewState(controlPath)))
end if
end sub

sub selectedindexchange(..)
string controlPath = "mycontrol.ascx"
plc.Controls.Add(Page.LoadControl(controlPath))
ViewState.Add("controlToReload", controlPath)
end sub

Hi
Thanks for the reply. But the problem is I am getting the control name
dynamically and loading it dynamically. In that case how would I know which
events shoud I add?

Thanks,
Sridhar.

If your control is an ascx that you load using the LoadControl method
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ntroltopic.asp
then you have to redo that LoadControl method in the Page_init upon postback.
This should take care of the all the event handling that you have defined in
your ascx control.

No piracy at all. :-) I believe all information posted on the newsgroup is
