wire up in events for C# newbie

[jhcorey]

I mentioned this recently in another post.

Let's say I want to use the ItemDataBound event for a datagrid.

I assume that I need:
this.DataGrid1.ItemDataBound += new
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventHandler(this.DataGrid1_ItemDataBound);

in the InitializeComponent function. Is this correct, or is there
another way
to do this?

Because (1) the comments say not to touch this; and (2) this function
keeps getting cleared out, which I've noticed is a known problem.
I'm evidently carrying some habits over from vb.net that keep messing
me up.

TIA,
Jim

In Design View of your page, select the object you want to wire up events for
and open the Properties tab. On this tab you should see a lightning bolt.
Click the bolt and in here you can see all of the available events for your
selected object.

Jim,

You can set the event handler in .aspx file as an attribute:

<asp:datagrid ... OnItemDataBound="DataGrid1_ItemDataBound" .. >

This format doesn't use the Design view and it doesn't get cleared out. You
will need to declare DataGrid1_ItemDataBound as protected.
