Child Neglect

wASP

Hi,

I was under the impression that, when ASP rendered a page,
it recursively traversed the hierarchy, executing all controls
in each ControlCollection of every control in that hierarchy.

I tried adding a Button control to a TextBox ControlCollection,
and it didn't execute. When I add the control to the Placeholder
ControlCollection (after the TextBox control is added), it executes
without any problem:
/* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . */
protected void create_ctrl_pair_0x
(String text_box_id, String Btn_ID, String Btn_text)
{
ControlCollection crnt_ctrl = CCP_Dyn_Ctrl_Placeholder.Controls;

// Create UserTextBox TextBox control.

UserTextBox0x = new TextBox ();

// Configure the UserTextBox TextBox control.
UserTextBox0x.ID = text_box_id;

// Add UserTextBox TextBox control to the Controls collection
// of the Dyn_Control_Placeholder PlaceHolder control.

crnt_ctrl.Add (UserTextBox0x);
crnt_ctrl.Add ( new LiteralControl("<br>XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxX<br><br>") );

// Create and initialize a Button.

button0x = new Button();
button0x.ID = Btn_ID;
button0x.Text = Btn_text;

// make the button a child of the text box control.
crnt_ctrl = UserTextBox0x.Controls;

crnt_ctrl.Add (button0x);
crnt_ctrl.Add
( new LiteralControl("<br>===================<br><br>") );
}
/* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . */
/* | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | */
/* . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . */



If this assignment statement is removed from the above:
crnt_ctrl = UserTextBox0x.Controls;
... it works fine. Otherwise, there is no button, as the child is neglected.



Can anyone give me an idea as to what I would have to do to make this work?
