Button click event for array of buttons not firing

Question

I think this question have been asked many times already(I my self asked once),But there is a new problem which i am facing.I am creating an array of buttons onclick of another button in my application.Number of buttons created will depend upon values which i get from database and values which i get from database depends on a session value which i pass in the query.My code is as below..

Code:

   protected void attributes()
    {
     SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ToString());
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select attributesequenceNumber as attsno,ProductCode as pcode, P26 as '" + 26 + "',P28 as '" + 28 + "',P30 as '" + 30 + "',P32 as '" + 32 + "',P34 as '"+34+"',P36 as '"+36+"',P38 as '"+38+"',P40 as '"+40+"',P42 as '"+42+"',SHXS as XS,SHS as S,SHM as M,SHL as L,SHXL as XL,SHXXL as XXL from tblattribute where ProductCode='" + Session["ImgProdCode"] + "'", con);
    //SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select Col.value('local-name(.)', 'varchar(Max)') as ColName from (select * from tblattribute where ProductCode ='"+Session["ImgProdCode"]+"' for xml path(''), type) as T(XMLCol) cross apply T.XMLCol.nodes('*') as n(Col) where Col.value('.', 'varchar(1)') = 1 " , con);
    try
    {
        con.Open();
        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
        DataTable dtble = new DataTable();
        SqlDataAdapter dap = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
        dap.Fill(dtble);
        if (dtble.Rows.Count > 0)
        {
           result = dtble.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>()
        .Where(c => c.ColumnName != "pcode" && c.ColumnName != "attsno")
        .Where(c => dtble.Rows[0][c].ToString() == "1")
        .Select(c => c.ColumnName)
        .ToList();
            res = result.Count;
            lbl = new Button[res];
            for(i=0; i<result.Count; i++)
            {

                lbl[i] = new Button();
                lbl[i].Text = result[i];
                lbl[i].ID = "btn" + i.ToString();
                lbl[i].Width = 30;
                lbl[i].Click+=new EventHandler(lbl_click);
                lbl[i].CssClass = "label";
                div1.Controls.Add(lbl[i]);
            }

        }

    }
    catch
    {
        throw;
    }
    finally
    {
        if (con != null)
        {
            con.Close();
        }
    }

} 

protected void lbl_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    Button lbl = sender as Button;
    lbl.CssClass = "label1";

}

The above method attributes() will be called on a button click,and the session value will also be generated on buttonclick.On research i came to know that the creation of dynamic buttons should be done in page_init event but i cannot do it here.Please help to solve this issue..

Answer 1

You can achieve this by using jQuery.
Add a jQuery reference to the web page
Get all controls that fit in class ‘label’, on its click event call the server side ‘lbl_click’ method.
Make sure that ‘lbl_click’ method should be marked as static and decorated with [webmethod].

Aspx page

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//Find all controls that belongs to class '.label'
//on its click event call the server side function.
  $(".label").click(function(e) {
    $.ajax({
      type: "POST",
      url: "Default.aspx/lbl_click",
      data: "{}", //can pass parameter here, if required
      contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
      dataType: "json",
      error:
      function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
        //Handle error here.
      },
      success:
      function(result) {
      //Set button css class to 'label1' using jQuery.
      }
    });
  });
});
</script>
</head>

    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select attributesequenceNumber as attsno,ProductCode as pcode, P26 as '" + 26 + "',P28 as '" + 28 + "',P30 as '" + 30 + "',P32 as '" + 32 + "',P34 as '" + 34 + "',P36 as '" + 36 + "',P38 as '" + 38 + "',P40 as '" + 40 + "',P42 as '" + 42 + "',SHXS as XS,SHS as S,SHM as M,SHL as L,SHXL as XL,SHXXL as XXL from tblattribute where ProductCode='" + Session["ImgProdCode"] + "'", con);

try
{
  con.Open();
  cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
  DataTable dtble = new DataTable();
  SqlDataAdapter dap = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
  dap.Fill(dtble);
  if (dtble.Rows.Count > 0)
  {
    result = dtble.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>()
 .Where(c => c.ColumnName != "pcode" && c.ColumnName != "attsno")
 .Where(c => dtble.Rows[0][c].ToString() == "1")
 .Select(c => c.ColumnName)
 .ToList();
    res = result.Count;
    lbl = new Button[res];
    for (i = 0; i < result.Count; i++)
    {

      lbl[i] = new Button();
      lbl[i].Text = result[i];
      lbl[i].ID = "btn" + i.ToString();
      lbl[i].Width = 30;
      //lbl[i].Click += new EventHandler(lbl_click);
      lbl[i].CssClass = "label";
      div1.Controls.Add(lbl[i]);
    }

  }

}
catch
{
  throw;
}
    finally
    {
      if (con != null)
      {
        con.Close();
      }
    }
  } 



  [WebMethod]
  public static string lbl_click()
  {
    return "label1";
  }

Hope this will help you.

Have a look here.

The event is there you just need to wire it up again.
