User Control Events

I have a user control with a button named upload in it. The button click event looks like this:

 protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // Upload the files to the server
}

On the page where the user control is present, after the user clicks on the upload button I want to perform some operation right after the button click event code is executed in the user control. How do I tap into the click event after it has completed its work?

Instead of writing an event handler just to call another event, you can instead directly wire the events together by using an explicit event implementation:

public event EventHandler ButtonClicked
{
   add { btnUpload.Click += value; }
   remove { btnUpload.Click -= value; }
}

Now anyone who subscribes to your ButtonClicked event is actually directly subscribing to the Click event of the btnUpload control. I find this to be a much more succinct way to implement this.

Create a Public Property in UserControl's CodeBehind:

    public Button btn
    {
        get { return this.Button1; }
    }

Then on page_Load you can use it like:

    WebUserControl11.btn.Click += (s, ea) => { Response.Write("Page Write"); };

You have to create an event in your user control, something like:

public event EventHandler ButtonClicked;

and then in your method fire the event...

protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   // Upload the files to the server

   if(ButtonClicked!=null)
      ButtonClicked(this,e);
}

Then you will be able to attach to the ButtonClicked event of your user control.
