I am writing a SharePoint web part which will have a simple ASP.NET form. I am using HtmlTextWriter to render the controls. The problem I have is that my button does not seem to be triggering the EventHandler I have assigned it. I initially declared the button in the CreateChildControls method, and wired the event handler: <pre><code>{ Button submitButton; submitButton = new Button(); submitButton.Text = "Go!"; submitButton.Click += new EventHandler(submitButton_Click); Controls.Add(submitButton); } </code></pre> I have declared the functionality of the "submitButton_Click" EventHandler: <pre><code>void submitButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { submitButton.Text = "Good!"; } </code></pre> I render the controls: <pre><code>protected override void RenderContents(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter output) { RenderChildren(output); } </code></pre> Finally, I deploy the web part. It shows up fine in the catalog and when I add it to a page, the control shows up. However, I would assume that when I click the button, its text should change from "Go!" to "Good!" Instead, it does nothing. I'm pretty new to all of these technologies -- C#, Sharepoint, and ASP.NET -- so I'm pretty sure it's a problem with my understanding, but trying different steps from articles all over the net and previous questions here haven't fixed my problem. Thanks for taking a look. EDIT: I opened the SharePoint page with the web part on it and the button has been created like so: <pre><code><input type="submit" name="ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$ctl00$ctl04" value="Go!" /> </code></pre> It looks like the OnClick value has not been added at all, which is what I thought adding the EventHandler would do. Am I trying to add OnClick in a completely wrong way? I also don't understand why the button name does not match what I declared in my code.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
