DataList doesn't fire events

Hi,

I'm new to this today, and I've got some test code (see below.) The data
loads fine.

I can't understand why any of the events fire. Once the page loads, clicking
on thew button from the ItemTemplate does not fire the OnItemCommand event.
It just fires a page reload - as a postback.

I guess I'm missing something really obvious and important here?

Any help greatfully received,

Cheers,

NEIL

Hi,

have you made sure you don't databind the dataList on every postback in
Page_Load? E.g do you have binding inside If Not Page.IsPostBack check (
if(!Page.IsPostBack){...} in C# )

If you rebind the DataList (or any databound control) accidentally in
Page_Load on every request that will "clear" the events to be raised and
cause them not to be raised.
