Access content page procedure from master page button

[De_Novice]

Hi Gurus, This is the situation:- I have a master page (masterpage.master) that contains a save button (btn_save). There are 3 contentpages that inherit this master page, each content page needs to use the save button but use the procdure for the content page. How do I make this happen that when user is on contentpage1 and user clicks save button, the procedure to save for contentpage1 is executed. I am new to .net and have searched the web but in vain. Will appreciate any help. I am using Vb.net ,kindly reply with code / explanation in vb. Thanks

You could create an event which the content page would subscribe to then handle the button click event on the master page and raise the event

public EventHandler<EventArgs> Submit;

public void OnSubmit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
EventHandler<EventArgs> handler = Submit;
if (handler != null)
{
handler(sender, e);
}
}

In your content page

public void OnInit(...)
{
((MyMaster)Page.Master).Submit += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(OnSubmit);
}

public void OnSubmit(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Handle submit action
}

I do not understand , where would you create the event in the code behind of master page? Could you give soe more explanation and codesnipped vb?

The first snippet is in your master page, the second, as indicated, is in your content page. What more explaination do you require?

what will the EventArgs be? How does this work. Can you give me a working example? Thank you for your time.

This is a working example. I understand you are a novice but you don't seem to have a base from which to understand this. There is nothing more I can explain if you don't understand basic event handling in .net. I would suggest you pick up a book on ASP.NET and work through it. Then, if you still don't understand how this works, come back and ask more questions.

Hi Mark, I've a few licenses of ESET NOD32 to be given away (It's fully functional, free, no strings attached, and nothing expected in return), and I chose a few people whom I think are contributing on the programming forums regularly. If you'd like one of those licenses, drop me a line. You could write to me at rajesh AT indiamvps DOT net Regards, Rajesh.
