Events and delegates...


Hello,
I have populated an a web form with dynamically created radiobuutons in
a table. I wnat some of the radio buttons to fire events when their
..CheckChanged property has changed.
I understand and was told this can be done with events and delegates. But my
code would
not compile. Here is what i did.

public delegate void specialRadioEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);

....

....

....

private void BuildMyDialog()

{

//Dynamically creating my table . Function called in
page_Load(IsPostBack==false)

....

....

....

RadioButton rb = new RadioButton();

if (RadioMeetMycodnition)

{

rb.AutoPostBack = true;

rb.CheckedChanged+=new MyOwnEventHandler( DoSomething );

}

public voidDoSomething (object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//Only for testing purpose.

string teststring = "oi";

Response.Write(teststring);

}
.......

.......

.....

I'am i doing something wrong?

Thanks...

Yes:

rb.CheckedChanged+=new MyOwnEventHandler( DoSomething );

You've got to use the type of the event, namely EventHandler:

rb.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler (DoSomething);

Well does this mean, there is no need for delegates here? and the only code
i need is the following?

RadioButton rb = new RadioButton();

if (RadioMeetMycodnition)

{

rb.AutoPostBack = true;

rb.CheckedChanged+=new EventHandler ( DoSomething );

}

public voidDoSomething (object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//Only for testing purpose.

string teststring = "oi";

Response.Write(teststring);

}

That *is* using delegates - EventHandler is a delegate.

That is correct and i just verified it...

When i select my button , it does not fire my custom event.
Well i'm obviously still missing something.

Anyway thank you for your assistance.

Could you post a short but complete program which demonstrates the
problem?

See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/complete.html for details of
what I mean by that.

Sort of - I believe it's better if you turn off "paragraph mode" or
something similar in IE.

I'm afraid I haven't really done any ASP.NET, and don't have a server
set up at the moment - hopefully someone else will test your code
though. (It would probably help if you'd post the aspx file as well.)
