asp:button in datalist doesn't fire event with VS
-
If I have an asp:Button in an asp:datalist it won't fire an event. But if I use asp:LinkButton it works fine. If I use an asp:Button outside the datalist then it fires. This is if I use Visual Studio. If I write the code in a text editor, both kind of buttons fire events. So I guess it's a bug in VS. But how do I fix it. I can't manuallay add an event handler to the button cause it's in the datalist.

Hi there. Just to rule out a couple of things - are you coding for the
ItemCommandevent of theDataList? then using aCommandNameandCommandArgumenton theButton? If so, are you declaring theButtonat design time or runtime? -
Hi there. Just to rule out a couple of things - are you coding for the
ItemCommandevent of theDataList? then using aCommandNameandCommandArgumenton theButton? If so, are you declaring theButtonat design time or runtime?I tried all different command names. I'm not declaring any button using "new" so I guess it's all in runtime.I tried to add the button in the design mode in VS and manually in the html code. No matter how I do it's just linkbutton that works. When I do it in design mode I tried the edittemplate tool and assigning commandname and onitemcommand etc via property window. When I use a linkbutton and place the cursor over the linkbutton I can read "javascript:_doPostBack......." in the IE status bar but not with a button. If I place a button outside the datalist the it works fine. Remember, none of these problems occur if I code in a texteditor instead of VS. Another bugg is that if I compile the project and I'm not in the desing window at that time then I can't open the property window without restarting VS. Can anyone help me?
