Page tranfer using button

[brd24gor]

I have an ASP button that I want to perform a Server.Transfer when clicked. For some reason, when the button is clicked, the _Click event isn't fired and the page just performs a postback. I've that my _Click event is properly attached to be button, so I know the binding isn'the problem.

Any suggestions?

So, if you step through the code, does the event fire and does the Server.Transfer line execute?

Nope, nothing inside the event fires. I've put a breakpoint in there that doesn't get hit. The Server.Transfer line is the only code inside the event.

But does the event itself fire?

Sorry for sounding a little ignorant, but I'm relatively new at this. How would I find out if the event is firing other than seeing if the event code is executing?

Say for example you had this:

    Private Function myFunction()
        Server.Transfer("anotherpage.aspx")
    End Function

From what I understand, you have put a breakpoint on the middle line and it doesn't work (or it doesn't get hit). Put a breakpoint on the first line instead and see if that gets hit.

If it does, then there's a problem with the code inside of the function. If it doesn't get hit, there is a problem with the wiring of the event to this function.

Here is the event:

		public void transferButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			Server.Transfer(adminMenu);
		}

I've tried breakpoints on the public and Server lines and neither one gets hit. I've also double-checked that the event is properly attached to the button.

		private void InitializeComponent()
		{    
			this.transferButton.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.transferButton_Click);
			this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

		}

Any ideas?

dang...too much to do, unless you need it dynamically created...

in your html, try this first...

<asp:Button id=myButtonName runat=server text="Click Me" onClick=transferButton_Click></asp:Button>

if you dont want to or doesnt work...
dont know much bout initializing components in Vstudio, but should it not be...
this.transferButton.onClick += new System.EventHandler(this.transferButton_Click);

I've already tried putting the onClick in the HTML and I was getting an error that said it couldn't find transferButton_Click. I'll try changing the InitializeComponent() method to see if that works. Thanks for the tips!
