I am looking for a way to programmatically set the OnClick event handler for a TableCell object. The ASP equivalent of what I'm trying to do will look like this:
<asp:TableCell OnClick="clickHandler" runat="server">Click Me!</asp:TableCell>
In the above example, "clickHandler" is a server-side function defined in the .cs CodeBehind.
public virtual void clickHandler(object sender, EventArgs args) {...}
However, for my situation, this TableCell object needs to be created dynamically, so setting it in an ASP tag is not an option. I am trying to do something like the following in the CodeBehind:
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow row = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableRow();
System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell cell = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell();
cell.Text = "Click Me!";
cell.Attributes.Add("onClick", "clickHandler");
row.Cells.Add(cell);
Unfortunately, in this situation:
cell.Attributes.Add("onClick", "clickHandler");
the "clickHandler" only works as a client-side javascript function. What I'm looking for is a way to link the server-side clickHandler() function, defined in the .cs CodeBehind, to this table cell.
After an afternoon of searching, I have been unable to come up with a working solution. Thanks in advance for any help.
