link buttons in user control not recognised by updatePanel

Hello...

I have a usercontol that has some linkbuttons.....and an updatePanel...i put the linkbutton ID's in the Trigger section of the updatePanel, but I'm getting an error that the updatePanel does not recognise the button ID's I have passed in...

how do I fix this? thanks

Hi,

Update Panel is not gonna recognize those link buttons because they are inside of usercontrol. You need to create user control event for each link button event. For example,

CustomControl.ascx

<%@. Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="CustomControl.ascx.cs" Inherits="CustomControl" %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkTest" runat="server" OnClick="lnkTest_Click">Test Button</asp:LinkButton

CustomControl.ascx.cs

public partial class CustomControl : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
public delegate void TestHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);
public event TestHandler LinkClicked;

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}
protected void lnkTest_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (LinkClicked != null)
LinkClicked(this, new EventArgs());
}
}

test.aspx

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<Triggers>
<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="CustomControl1" EventName="DoYourBussiness" />
</Triggers>
<ContentTemplate>
<uc1:CustomControl ID="CustomControl1" runat="server" OnLinkClicked="DoYourBussiness" />
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel

Hi,

thanks for this, how about for normal hyperlinks?... (instead of linkButons)... can something similar be done?

thanks

Hi,

Normal hyperlinks do not have OnClick event. LinkButton looks the same as HyperLink, but has OnClick event.
