Hi Folks,

I've come across some strange behaviour in a UserControl. Basically, I've
added a standard Web user control to a CMS template (it just allows the user
to select info from a database that sits on the same server - kind of
integrating CMS with an external app).

So, I have two repeaters (to list the first letters of the external data)
and two buttons.

Here's some code:

this.rpLetters.ItemCommand += new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventHandler(this.rpLetters_ItemCom
mand);


this.rp2Letters.ItemCommand += new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventHandler(this.rp2Letters_ItemCo
mmand);


this.cmdSubmit.Click +=new EventHandler(cmdSubmit_Click);

this.cmdReset.Click +=new EventHandler(cmdReset_Click);

Now, the first two items - repeater item commands - cause explicit postbacks
via the javascript:__doPostback(...) calls.

But the cmdSubmit and cmdReset don't do anything - clicking the button gives
no response. These commands are in the Page_Load block of my UserControl and
I can step through the code to confirm that they're being executed (the fact
that the repeater itemcommands are working is proof of that).

Any ideas?

The usercontrol is in a CMS aspx template file.

Hi Charles,

did you set a break point in the cmdSubmit_Click routine to see if it gets
fired?

Cheers,
Stefan.

Yes - and it doesn't get fired.

It's REALLY strange because I have other UserControls with buttons in them
and they fire alright. I was wondering if there was anything obvious that
I'm missing.

Hi Charles,

sounds more like an ASP.NET problem than a MCMS problem. Actually templates
are nothing but special web forms.
You should post this question to an ASP.NET related newsgroup.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Thanks Stefan - after a bit of digging, I found the problem. It was indeed
an ASP.NET issue - it was caused by a rogue <form> block inside the
UserControl overriding the external <form runat=server> block..

I had this issue once before about a week ago and I posted the solution on
this group.

So, once is forgivable, twice is stupidity. If I write back on this group
with the same problem again, you have my permission to punch me. ;-)
