asp.net - events

Question

What are the points to check for, when an ASP.NET button is not firing an event?

I have double-clicked the button to add an event-handler.

But event is not firing.

Answer 1

I use your code in Web Application Project and everything working fine. Did you use a web application or a Web Site project ?

And what is the version framework you use ?

which button you try ?

Answer 2

Try another angle - Take the OnClick attribute off of the asp:Button and explicitly add the event handler in the code behind in OnInit

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
    btnSendMail.Click += new EventHandler(btnSendMail_Click);
    base.OnInit(e);
}

Answer 3

Maybe a stupid question, but is javascript enabled in your browser?

Answer 4

Please try the following in order to diagnose the problem:

1. Create a new top-level page in the site. Add a single button to it. Double-click the button to add an event handler. Set a breakpoint at the event handler and see if it gets hit when you click the button.
2. Create a new content page in the site, using the same master page. Add a single button to it. Double-click the button to add an event handler. Set a breakpoint at the event handler and see if it gets hit when you click the button.
3. Create a new master page in the site. Add a content placeholder to it and nothing else. Create a new content page in the site, with this new master. Add a single button to it. Double-click the button to add an event handler. Set a breakpoint at the event handler and see if it gets hit when you click the button.
