Events

[Darkness84]

Can you fire an event inside of an event that is already executing?

Yes you can.

This is not good approach by firing an event inside the already firing event.

Is there anything special you have to do to get this to work because the event inside the executing event is not firing?

[RepliCrux]

It is possible that you are not firing the event properly, can you pass me the code.

This is the code: protected void btnNext_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) { switch (m_teststage) { case "STEP1": hidMode.Value = "STEP2"; break; case "STEP2": hidMode.Value = "STEP3"; break; } m_teststage = hidMode.Value; FormatPageChange(); } private void FormatPageChange() { if (m_teststage == "STEP2") InitialiseDMRGrid(); if (m_teststage == "STEP3") InitialiseTestGrid(); SetPanelVisibility(); SetButtonVisibility(); SetValidatorsEnabled(); } private void InitialiseDMRGrid() { WebGridHelper m_webgridhelperDMR = new WebGridHelper(wgDMR, "", "ID"); wgDMR.PrepareDataBinding += new DataSourceEventHandler(wgDMR_PrepareDataBinding); wgDMR.InitializeDataSource += new DataSourceEventHandler(wgDMR_InitializeDataSource); m_webgridhelperDMR.SortColumns += new SortColumnsEventHandler(m_webgridhelperDMR_SortColumns); wgDMR.InitializePostBack += new PostBackEventHandler(wgDMR_InitializePostBack); } If I click the Next button the event fires but when it gets to the InitialiseDMRGrid method it goes in but does not fire the events inside.

I think the problem is: You are "adding" the events on button click and not "firing" them. They will fire when they are suppose to fire. Your code will add the events to, for eg: wgDMR.InitializeDataSource += new DataSourceEventHandler(wgDMR_InitializeDataSource); and when the DataSource in initialised then this event will fire. (I guess you have defined the event handlers somewhere else, because I can't see the event handlers for any of the above events.)

I see what I am doing wrong now. Thanks for your help.

Why not?
