Hi guys,
I know that there has been much discussion here about this topic, but none of the threads I got across helped me solve this problem. I'm hoping that mine is somewhat unique, and may actually merit a different solution.
I'm instantiating an asp:Button inside a data-bound asp:GridView through template fields. Some of the
buttons are supposed to call a server-side function, but for some weird reason, it doesn't. All the
buttons do when you click them is fire a postback to the current page, doing nothing, effectively just reloading the page.
Below is a fragment of the code:
<asp:GridView ID="gv" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" CssClass="l2 submissions" ShowHeader="false">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate><asp:Panel ID="swatchpanel" CssClass='<%# Bind("status") %>' runat="server"></asp:Panel></ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="50px" CssClass="sw" />
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="description" ReadOnly="true">
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="owner" ReadOnly="true">
<ItemStyle Font-Italic="true" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="last-modified" ReadOnly="true">
<ItemStyle Width="100px" />
</asp:BoundField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="viewBtn" cssclass='<%# Bind("sid") %>' runat="server" Text="View" OnClick="viewBtnClick" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
The viewBtn above should call the viewBtnClick() function on server-side. I do have that function defined, along with a proper signature (object,EventArgs). One thing that may be of note is that this code is actually inside an ASCX, which is loaded in another ASCX, finally loaded into an ASPX.
Any help or insight into the matter will be SO appreciated. Thanks!
(oh, and please don't mind my trashy HTML/CSS semantics - this is still in a very,very early stage :p)
