Hi all
I have a dynamically created button, I can add an event handler with:

AddHandler button.click, AddressOf static_function

This works great, but what I need is to create a function that takes
the control, the event and the function as parameters, something like:

function addevent(control as object, event as string, functionname as
string)
AddHandler control.event, addressof functionname
end function

A solution for this would be to add a single function that handles all
buttons and select the correct action thru commandarguments, that
would work, but it's really not what i'm looking for.


Thanks in advance,

Jose Suero

Hi,

you cannot pass the functionname as such as AddressOf expects a delegate
type, not function name as string. You could try to use reflection as this

Thanks a lot for your post, It took me on the right track, I had to
change tiny things, since I was getting an error but this works for
imagebuttons, binding an event for a dynamic created object from a
class library

Public Shared Function addevent(ByVal controlname As String, ByVal
type As String, ByVal eventname As String, ByVal procedure As String)
Dim control As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ImageButton
control = page.findcontrol(controlname)
Dim p As Object
Dim DLLName As String = "projectname"
Dim asm As [Assembly] = [Assembly].Load(DLLName)
Dim t As Type = asm.GetType(DLLName & ".WebForm1", True)
p = Activator.CreateInstance(t)
Dim mymethod As MethodInfo = t.GetMethod(procedure)
' get a reference to the EventInfo for this object
Dim pEv As EventInfo = control.GetType.GetEvent(eventname)
' create a delegate to the local procedure
Dim pDel As [Delegate] =
[Delegate].CreateDelegate(pEv.EventHandlerType, mymethod)
' make the local procedure a handler for the event
pEv.AddEventHandler(control, pDel)
End Function
