Question: Why does a button event (ie: Button1_Click) get executed on the
first click for a textbox control which has 'autopostback=false', but
doesn't get executed until a second click when 'autopostback=true'?
For example, I set up a textbox control with autopostback=false, and a
command button. If I run my page (main.aspx) I can type data into the
textbox control, then click on the button. The Button1_Click event fires
immediately.
But if I just change the autopostback=true for the textbox and repeat the
same events the Button1_Click event doesn't fire until the second time I
click on the button.
Why is this?
Here is my stuff:
Partial Class Main
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Handles Me.Load
If (Not IsPostBack) Then
ddAnimals.Items.Add("Mouse")
ddAnimals.Items.Add("Kangaroo")
ddAnimals.Items.Remove("Moose")
Else
Response.Write("This is a Page_Load due to PostBack.")
End If
End Sub
Protected Sub ddAnimals_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles ddAnimals.SelectedIndexChanged
My.Response.Write("Selected index changed in ddAnimals. Index value = " & _
ddAnimals.SelectedIndex.ToString & ". Data value = " & _
ddAnimals.Items(ddAnimals.SelectedIndex).ToString & ".")
'Response.Write(Request.Form)
End Sub
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Response.Write("Button clicked")
'Response.Write(Request.Form)
End Sub
Protected Sub txtBookname_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles txtBookname.TextChanged
'Response.Write("Text Changed in textbox! New value = " & txtBookname.Text)
End Sub
