group:Dynamically loaded User Controls - problem with button_click event
asp.net webcontrols:
I had the same problem however the answer is simple, control binding / view state preperation starts before page_load and any event. If you place your control loading logic in page_init sub all will work properly. *** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***
I am guessing that the problem is in the hosting form. You should post your
Page_Load code so we can take a look at that. You most likely have a problem that can be solved by moving some code into a ... if(!(IsPostBack)) { .... } section of code. I hope that helps a bit.

When you say the user control has its own form, do you mean it has another <form> element within it? If so, do you really need that? -- John
Just did add something on earlier post and saw the more recent one after
that. Well does the page you are dynamically have its own form and on select you load a user control with its own form. I think there might be some issues with more than one form (I remember reading it a few days back when I started with web controls) Regards, HD [quoted text, click to view] "Tim T" <broadbanned@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:bnrtsd$2rsk$1@news.wplus.net... > [this is a simplified / clearer explanation of an earlier post - hopefully > someone can help!] > > Hi, > I have the need to use dynamically loaded user controls in a webform page. > I have the controls loading dynamically, and that part works fine. this is > the code used in a webform to dynamically load one of several controls: > private void btnCategory_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) > > { > Control myControl = LoadControl(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text + > ".ascx"); > PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myControl); > } > > That part works fine, selecting an item from the dropdown loads the relevant > control perfectly into the placeholder on the hosting page. > > The dynamically loaded control has its own form and button within it. when a > user fills out the form and clicks the 'send' button, the button_click event > within the control is supposed to do some work and add the form data to a > DB. > > My problem is that when the button from within a dynamically loaded control > is clicked, nothing happens for that event.

[this is a simplified / clearer explanation of an earlier post - hopefully
someone can help!] Hi, I have the need to use dynamically loaded user controls in a webform page. I have the controls loading dynamically, and that part works fine. this is the code used in a webform to dynamically load one of several controls: private void btnCategory_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Control myControl = LoadControl(DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text + ".ascx"); PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myControl); } That part works fine, selecting an item from the dropdown loads the relevant control perfectly into the placeholder on the hosting page. The dynamically loaded control has its own form and button within it. when a user fills out the form and clicks the 'send' button, the button_click event within the control is supposed to do some work and add the form data to a DB. My problem is that when the button from within a dynamically loaded control is clicked, nothing happens for that event. All that happens is the page hosting the control is reloaded, and the control disappears. I must add that when the same control is added to a test page, everything works fine as planned - the click event for the button does as it is supposed to - so there is nothing wrong there. The problem is arising because this is a DYNAMICALLY loaded control sitting in a placeholder. I hope someone can see my exact problem and knows the solution. I'm sure it is something simple, but am new to .NET and am stuck. Any help greatly appreciated. Tim..
Thanks Adam,
doing as you suggested enables a control placed in a placeholder to work from within the page propertly as i need, But now I have a new problem. I still can't do what I am trying to achieve because the control I want to load into the placeholder is determined by what a user selects from a dropdown in the [hosting] page. I put the code loading the control into a Page_Init sub as suggested, it works when i statically Load a control by hard coding the control name in the LoadControl("test.ascx"), but i need it to load the control dynamically here is the sub: private void Page_Init(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if(Page.IsPostBack) { string controlName = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text; //the text for dropdown items is the control to load Control myControl = LoadControl(controlName+".ascx"); PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(myControl); } } the page is posted back when a user selects form the dropdown and clicks a button, here is the sub that handles the button click: private void btnCategory_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { selectecdCategory.Text = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text.Replace(" ","").Replace("/","").Replace("&",""); } when the user selects a categroy and clicks the button, the page posts back, I get this error I get the following error: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object. " for this line: string controlName = DropDownList1.SelectedItem.Text; So the DropDownList1 object is not initialised before the Page_Init sub fires. Can you see what i am trying to achieve? any further suggestions appreciated. Thanks to everyone for their input so far. Tim..

Thanks HD,
There is only one <form runat="server"> tag on the page hosting the control, no form tag in the user control, i meant form fields and a button I think i'm getting closer to solving the problem, have done what Adam Carden suggested and that works for loading controls into place holders, but i am still having trouble getting them to load dynamically. i may have to try a different approach soon!
