How to generate control level events automatically in asp.net

I have worked in silverlight and in silverlight I can create control level events automatically on XAML, but I am unable to do that in .aspx page.

Following are the examples to give clear idea.

Silverlight: If I want to create a new event on TextBlock called KeyDown, silverlight gives me an option called "<New Event Handler>" which will automatically generate respected event in .cs file .

enter image description here

Asp.NET: If I want to create an OnClick event on button than I don't have any option.

enter image description here

If I go to design page where my button is located and do double click than event is populating on .cs page but I want to do that on source in .aspx page.

Am I missing something here? I think there shouldn't be any difference in this scenario but I am not sure why I am not getting auto event generate option.

I am using VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4

VS 2010 doesn't auto create the event in ASP.NET. You can either manually create it, or upgrade to VS 2013 (which may be free depending on which version you want/are eligible for).

The event signature is often

protected void MyControlId_EventName(object sender, EventArgs e);

but of course you can look up the specifics on MSDN. A notable exception is some of the GridView event handlers.
