I am having a problem with a dynamically-generated Datagrid. It is
important to point out that this problem does not exist with a
design-time created Datagrid, but only with a dynamically generated
Datagrid in a Web Custom Control (WCC) :
The datagrid has LinkButton Column which has a select LinkButton for
each row. When this button is clicked, the Datagrid raises its
'ItemCommand' event which captures the information for that row and
sends it to a event handler method. The problem is that this method is
never getting called. It seems logical to assume that there is
something wrong with the event-wiring of the datagrid. The signature
of the event-handler is:
Private Sub DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal source As Object,
ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles
dg.ItemCommand
(dg is the name of the datagrid). The 'Handles' keyword in VB.Net is
supposed to wire the event to the handler but that is not happening.
So I tried to manually add the handler to the event with the following
line of code in the CreateChildControls method of the WCC using the
line:
AddHandler dg.ItemCommand, AddressOf Me.DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged
That does not work either. The datagrid loads up just fine, and on
selecting a row it does a PostBack and hits the OnLoad event but never
hits the event-handler method.
Why is this event not being wired to the handler? Or might there be
some other problem?
Thanks in advance for any help.
