Problem implementing custom LostFocus on text box

[SteveL714]

I found a post online illustrating how to implement a LostFocus method with a text box. Here's what I've got:

   protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var onBlurScript = Page.ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference(txtZipCode, "OnBlur");
        txtZipCode.Attributes.Add("onBlur", onBlurScript);
    }

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (IsPostBack)
        {
            var ctrlName = Request.Params[[highlight #F57900]Page.postEventsSourceID[/highlight]];
            var args = Request.Params[[highlight #F57900]Page.postEventsArgumentID[/highlight]];
            HandleCustomPostbackEvents(ctrlName, args);
        }
    }

    private void HandleCustomPostbackEvents(string ctrlName, string args)
    {
        // Since this method will get called for every postback, we only want to handle
        // a specific combination of control and argument.
        if (ctrlName == txtZipCode.UniqueID && args == "OnBlur")
        {
            string myConnectionString2 = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["devConnectionString"];
            SqlConnection conn2 = null;
            conn2 = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString2);
            SqlDataReader CityReader;

            SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("GetCityState", conn2);
            command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            command.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Zip", SqlDbType.VarChar).Value = txtZipCode.Text.Trim();
            conn2.Open();
            command.ExecuteNonQuery();
            CityReader = command.ExecuteReader();

            if (CityReader.HasRows)
            {
                while (CityReader.Read())
                {
                    lblCity.Text = CityReader["City"].ToString().Trim()
                        + ", " + CityReader["State"].ToString().Trim();
                }
            }
            CityReader.Close();
         }
    }

My problem revolves around the highlighted code in the Page_Load section. The error reads:
'System.Web.UI.Page' does not contain a definition for 'postEventsSourceID' and no extension method 'postEventsSourceID' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.UI.Page' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


How do I clear this issue?

Thanks,

Steve

I don' know where you got that code from but obviously it is incorrect. Those properties do not exist on the page object.
Try something like this

  var ctrlName = Page.Request.Params.Get("__EVENTTARGET")
  var args = Page.Request.Params.Get("__EVENTARGUMENT")

I got the code from a post on SolvedStack.com. Your suggestion worked. Thanks.

Glad it worked for you
