Hi all.
I have a web application which upon page load, creates a number of buttons on the page. For each button which is created, i add a handler for the click event. Inside the click event code for the button, i identify the ID of the sender. I then store the button ID inside the session state. I then want to postback to a different web form, which i do by setting the autopostbackURL to "another_web_form.aspx".
My problem is that if I set the button properties to autopostback = true, the button click event will not occur because the code will move to "another_web_form.aspx".
I really need the ID of the button which i clicked to be accessable by the page of which i am posting back to (another_web_form.aspx).
This is the code on my first page:
btnEdit.ID = "btnEdit" & <a unique integer value>
AddHandler btnEdit.Click, AddressOf btnEditSite_click
cell6.Controls.Add(btnEdit)
This is the code on the page which i want to post back to:
'This is retrieving the value held in the session state
Dim siteToEdit As String = Session("editID").ToString()
If the button's click event is never fired, the button ID is not assigned to the session state.
Any help would be great, thanks.
