Button in custom webcontrol - event handler not working

[Divya]

Hello

This is my 1st project where I have to create a Webcontrol. I have created a simple custom control with a button and 2 labels added to a panel. My problem is that the event handler that I have assigned to the button [private void btnSubmit_Click()], is not getting invoked. Could anyone please go thru the code and let me know what I am missing here? Thanks in advance

My custom control is as follows

using System
using System.Web
using System.Web.UI
using System.Web.UI.WebControls
using System.ComponentModel
using System.Drawing

namespace WebControlLibrary

/// <summary
/// This WebControl simulates the rolling of a die. It consists of a label and a submit butto
/// encapsulated in a Panel. When the button is clicked, the event handler calls a metho
/// of the control - RollDice() to set the label with a random number between 1 and 6
/// When the Page is initialized, RollDice() is called in order to initialize the label wit
/// a value
/// </summary

public class WebCustomControl1 : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebContro

int dice_num
Label lblNum = new Label()
Button btnSubmit = new Button()
Label lblComments = new Label()
Panel MainPanel = new Panel()

[Bindable(true)
Category("Appearance")
DefaultValue("")
public int DiceNu

ge

return dice_num

se

dice_num = value
if(dice_num > 0 && dice_num < 7
lblNum.Text = dice_num.ToString()


private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, CommandEventArgs e

RollDice()
lblComments.Text += "In btnSubmit_Click()"

protected void RollDice(

Random rng = new Random(System.DateTime.Now.Millisecond)
dice_num = rng.Next(1,7)
lblNum.Text = dice_num.ToString()


protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e

base.OnInit (e)
btnSubmit.Text = "Submit"
lblNum.BackColor = Color.LightBlue
lblNum.Width = 30
lblComments.Text = "In OnInit()"


protected override void CreateChildControls(

MainPanel.Controls.Add(lblNum)
MainPanel.Controls.Add(btnSubmit)
MainPanel.Controls.Add(lblComments)
Controls.Add(MainPanel)


protected override void RenderContents(HtmlTextWriter output

AddAttributesToRender(output)
MainPanel.RenderControl(output)




The aspx page that I am using to test this control is just a simple one

Hi Divya,

By quickly browsing at your code I can see that you want to create a
composite custom control. There are a few things that you need to do when
coding a composite control:

a) Make your control implement the INamingContainer marker interface. This
is required in order for your child controls to get proper formed IDs (i.e.:
parentid:childid). Note this is a marker interface (no methods to implement)
so you should only modify your control declaration this way:
[C#]
public class WebCustomControl1 : System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl,
System.Web.UI.INamingContainer

b) Creation of the child controls should go in the CreateChildControls
method and NOT at member definition like you're doing today. You should keep
the member definition if you want but actual instantation should go in
CreateChildControls. So your code should be modified this way:

>>> Label lblNum = new Label();

by:
Label lblNum;
and in CreateChildControls you then instantiate the Label.

Make those changes and let me know the results, your events should be firing
ok then ;-)
