Dynamically added event handler ignored?

[T.]

Hi group, I am adding an event hander dynamically to a check box inside of
a repeater_itemdatabound method:

Dim chk as CheckBox = CType(e.Item.FindControl("chkIsBilling"), CheckBox)
If Not IsNothing(chk) Then

AddHandler chk.CheckedChanged, AddressOf
IsBillingAddressCheckBox_CheckChanged

End If



here's the handler:

Private Sub IsBillingAddressCheckBox_CheckChanged(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

'code

End Sub



The event handler is never called...any thoughts? I can fix it by creating
a reference in the aspx to a protected method, i.e.,
OnCheckChanged="ProtectedMethod_CheckChanged". But why doesn't the dynamic
handler work, any thoughts?



Thanks

You should also set the AutoPostBack property to true for the event to get
raised in your class.

Hope this helps

Yes, I'm doing that..

At which point are you attaching the handler? Try doing it in the Page_Init
method.

Make sure the event handler is being added on postback as well.
