Help w/AddHandler (Not Firing Off)

[Jeffrey A. Voigt]

Can someone take a quick glace at my code and tell me why my
AutoPostBackHandler function does not get fired off at all? What I'm trying
to do is get all of the Buttons and DropDownList controls that have an
AutoPostBack property set to true to fire off the AutoPostBackHandler
function dynamically. I achive this by going through all controls that are
on the WebPage and seting up the handler on the fly. I've debugged this and
know for a fact that the AddHandler's are in fact being called with no
errors. The problem is though when the user clicks on a button and/or
change the index of the dropdown (and when page is posted back to the
server) The AutoPostBackHandler is NOT being triggered.

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
- Jeff

I do handle each post back seperately, but i'm also creating a dynamic
handler for some auto scrolling on each postback. I'm doing this in a base
class so that all webpages get this effect. Now can someone help me answer
my initial question instead of asking one instead? :)

Thanks,
- Jeff

Jeffrey Hi,

I dont see any problem. I run this code which is basicly yours and it
works.

Private Sub ddo(ByRef tar As Control)
Dim control As Control
For Each control In tar.Controls
Select Case control.GetType().Name
Case "Button"
AddHandler CType(control, Button).Click, AddressOf
Natty
Case "ListBox"
AddHandler CType(control,
ListBox).SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf Natty

End Select
If tar.Controls.Count > 0 Then
ddo(control)
End If
Next

End Sub

Jeff hi,

yes, firing off whenever there is a postback caused by those
controls.

Try to create new project and run it with the code. Maybe something in
the application causes the miss behavior.
