Hi Bill,
Are you providing everything that is required for the event to fire? You
might be missing Autopostback.
Here's some demo code that might get you going. Let us know if it helps?

I'm using VS2005.
I am dynamically adding a Textbox control to a Placeholder control in the
page_load event of the form, but the event handler isn't firing. What am
I doing wrong?
Thanks
Bill
Protected Sub Page_Load....
Dim tb as new Textbox
AddHandler tb.TextChanged, AddressOf tbEventHandler
PlaceHolder1.controls.add (tb)
end sub
