button OnClick override ignored but only under certain conditions?

[PJ6]

I'm having a problem I can't reproduce in a simple example. If I create a
class that inherits button and click on it in a web page, if I override the
OnClick method, on clicking, any code is executed, and any breakpoints
within it are hit. This exepcted behavior works in simple test projects
under a lot of different conditions.

OK so I put the exact same button inheritor in the live project that I'm
working on, and... the overriden OnClick method is *not* hit. No code
executes, no breakpoints are hit within it, and I have no idea why. Since I
cannot simply reproduce the problem (and therefore have no code I can
reasonably post) I was hoping someone might, off the top of their head, give
me a few guesses as to why this is happening, or offer a suggestion for
diagnosing the problem.

TIA,
Paul

I assume you mean OnClick on the Server?
Does the page even reload? Is Page_Load being called?
Is the submit on the client executed?

No validators in the way?

Server OnClick.

The page reloads, which I verified with a breakpoint.

I'm not emitting or concerned with any clientside code for this particular
problem.

No validators.

Check the "__EVENTTARGET" property in the Page_Load method.

string target = Request["__EVENTTARGET"];

This should contain the name of your button.

Target shows as nothing... but I get nothing for when it works, too.

If I dynamically add a button - not OnLoad, but from the click event of
another button, that button's click event is completely ignored server-side.
Is this a bug? Is there a way to get it to work?

Oh, man. I see why now. Boy do I hate web development.

See my later post "on method for handling dynamic control events", which
should read "one method for handling dynamic control events". I thought my
solution was cool enough to share, though I'm sure someone's thought of it
before.
