Greetings. Hopefully someone will be able to untie this Gordian Knot I
have found myself bound up in.
I am trying to add a submit button dynamically to a PlaceHolder. This
button will help update a particular entry in a database.
The button is added as thus:
Sub LoadIntro()
...additional content that is dynamically loaded as well: a preview
of the DB contents followed by a form that is pre-filled from the DB...
Dim submit as Button = New Button()
AddHandler submit.Click, AddressOf UpdateIntro
submit.id = "submit"
submit.Text = "Update Intro"
content.Controls.Add(submit)
End Sub
And the event handler is set up like this:
Sub UpdateIntro(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Dim myConn as New
OleDbConnection(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings( "strConn"))
Dim myCmd as New OleDbCommand("UPDATE tblIntro SET
[Comment]=@Comment", myConn)
myConn.Open()
myCmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
myCmd.Parameters.Add("@Comment", OleDbType.LongVarWChar).Value =
RepChar(Request.Form("IntroComment"))
myCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
myConn.Close()
LoadIntro()
End Sub
The problem is that this doesn't work!!! The UpdateIntro sub simply
doesn't get fired!!
I'm pulling my hair out here, as I have also removed the AddHandler to
try this:
Private Sub UpdateIntro(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Handles submit.Click
But it also throws an error! I know that adding
submit.onClick="UpdateIntro" will also throw an error, but I simply
don't know what else to do or try!
TIA

Not so easy. You see, I am trying to make an admin interface more
efficient and flexible by programatically adding content as required. If
I can solve this one single problem, I can conceivably reduce the file
size (or, in other words, the amount of code) of the admin interface by
as much as 30%.

Are you trying to click the button on the first page load or after a
postback? You have to re-create all dynamically added controls on every
postback.

When I tried your method, I got the contents of LoadIntro() appearing
twice on the web page. When I clicked submit, I get a blank page.
What gives?

And when I replace your "private sub" with a normal one, LoadIntro()
appears only once on the page. But submitting the form still doesn't
update the DB, and gives me a blank page in response.
Stranger and stranger!

Eliyahu
The button is meant to be clicked on the first page load (technically).
Any button clicks should fire the UpdateIntro(), at the end of which the
LoadIntro() is called, sending the user the original form again, but
this time populated with updated material.

Sorry to hear my approach didn't work well for you. If controls are
being loaded twice, then that means you're calling the function twice-
could this be possible? THis can happen when you add a control in the
Init event, then add the control again after the page is loaded. Does
it occur when the page is first loaded, or only after a postback?
Secondly, as for the page not showing up, it sounds like the postback
isn't being handled correctly. THis can be related to your first
problem.
I wrote some code that adds a button to the page dynamically, stores a
value as a hidden field, then loads the button in the init event.
You'll need to wire up the Page_Init event yourself via Page.Init +=
new EventHandler(Page_Init); ANyway, you should be able to get it to
work and expand on the basic idea. You can replace the button with a
more complex usercontrol, or store a series of controls in the hidden
field if you want to add more than one:
private Button btn;
protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string controlName;
controlName = Request.Form["ControlToAdd"];
if (controlName == "btn")
{
btn = new Button();
btn.ID = "btn";
btn.Click += new EventHandler(btn_Click);
this.form1.Controls.Add(btn);
}
}
void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string s;
s = "The button has been clicked";
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsPostBack == false)
{
btn = new Button();
btn.ID = "btn";
this.form1.Controls.Add(btn);
//no need to wire up an event handler here.
this.RegisterHiddenField("ControlToAdd", "btn");
}
}
Good luck!
