I am attempting to raise the EditCommand event of a DataList when a Button
in the ItemTemplate is clicked. Here is the HTML used for the ItemTemplate:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id=lblEvent1 runat="server" EnableViewState="False"
Width="175px" text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.eventname")
%>'></asp:Label>
<asp:Label id=lblDescription1 runat="server" EnableViewState="False"
Width="500px" text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.description")
%>'></asp:Label>
<asp:Label id=lblDate1 runat="server" EnableViewState="False" Width="100px"
text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.eventdate","{0 :d}")
%>'></asp:Label>
<asp:Label id=lblDetails1 runat="server" EnableViewState="False"
Width="115px" text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.details")
%>'></asp:Label>
<asp:Button id="btnEdit1" runat="server" Width="80px" Font-Bold="True"
CausesValidation="False" Text="Edit Event" CommandName="edit"></asp:Button>
</ItemTemplate>
Here is the event handler used to handle the EditCommand:
Private Sub datEditEvents_EditCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListCommandEventArgs ) Handles
datEditEvents.EditCommand
Label1.Text = "You clicked index " & CStr(e.Item.ItemIndex)
datEditEvents.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex
Dim events As New DataSet
Dim myconnection As New
OracleConnection(System.Configuration.Configuratio nSettings.AppSettings("connectionString"))
Dim cmdselect As New OracleCommand("SELECT * FROM eventlist ORDER BY
eventdate", myconnection)
Dim eventsadapter As New OracleDataAdapter(cmdselect)
eventsadapter.SelectCommand = cmdselect
eventsadapter.Fill(events, "eventlist")
datEditEvents.DataSource = events
datEditEvents.DataBind()
End Sub
Notice that I did include the CommandName="edit" in my Button control and
the Handles clause in my event handler. When I click the button, nothing
happens. I tested this using a Label which you see as the first line in my
event handler. What am I forgetting? Is the CommandName attribute
case-sensitive? Am I using the wrong value? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
