Button Click Events not firing ? - ASP.NET

Hi,

You may be unable to see the button click events firing on certain machines though it may work in some other machines.

Mostly when you are developing in your local system, the events do work well. But once you move the code to production, the button click events may not fire at all.

This might rise after you install the Microsoft .NET Framework Service Pack 1, which will stop the PostBack Events on client side validation.

To resolve this issue, the aspnet_client folder needs to be reinstalled. To do that type the following from command prompt:-

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -c

This should resolve the issue.

The above command applies to .NET Framework version 1.1. For 1.0, you need to change the version to v1.0.3705 in the above command.

Thanks.

i guess i figured out why the even fired with FireFox but not with IE, its bcoz the validation, IE validate controls b4 the submit is done, on the other side, FireFox validate controls after submit, its about which called first,i dunno if i'm right or wrong, but i noticed that with FireFox validatros works after submiting the form,i'm dig down in this issue later i guess , ty there

thanks for the help,
while using this command i got a error which says :
An error has occurred (0x80070005).
You must have administrative rights on this machine in order to run this tool.

to resolve it try the following, it works:

1. Find the "system_web" directory under wwwroot. Under it, you should find a directory named "1_1_4322". Delete it.

2. Run aspnet_regiis -ea from drive:\windowsdirectory\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322. That should kill all old
1.1.4322 scripts.

3. Then, run aspnet_regiis –c. That should re-install the 1_1_4322 directory and client scripts.

thanks again,
regards
Manas

Thank you so much for this information. I just moved my new .NET application to our production server and, oh no, the buttons stopped firing. When I applied the aspnet_regiis -c command, the buttons worked again.
Thanks, so much.

I could get the validation working on Internet Explorer, but it's not working on Mozilla.
For Mozilla use the IsValid method server-side.

HI, I am having the problem very frequently on the production server.
To resolve this issue, I normally do the following. Reinstall aspnet_client folder. To do that I use this command in command prompt:-
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -c

But my concern is how to resolve this problem permanently. Since this is an issue on the production server. Need help. It's urgent. Thanks in advance...

Hi,
I have a web custom control which has some textboxes and i have used .net "RequiredFieldValidator"s to check their validation, I have a Submit button which when is clicked, the TextBoxes texts store in a data base table. to this point every thing is ok but when i run a project which contains this control, the first time I fill the textboxes and click the button it doesn't work but the second time it works!!. I checked if I have no alidation controling and i works ok then but if I enable the validations the problem is there agin. do you know what is the solution?

Hi again
I found my answer, but I post it here if some one else has the same problem. I noticed that if we have some "RequiredFieldValidators" in a web custom composite control, we should set an ID value for each of the components in it so the problem disappears!

I found that manually copying the aspnet_client folder to the target application root also worked. The file source was on a remote server, so there was some permissions issue that prevented the aspnet_regiis application from writing to the remote machine even though the login was an administrative login on both machines.

I struggled with this for two days. Eventually I found that a) if I disabled all validators it worked. But I also discovered that b) if I put an entry in the ValidationGroup property for them all it also worked when I re-enabled them. I did this because I am updating a database. I gutted the event proc except for a test alert. Since I wanted it in the form it should be just in case it actually hit the database I enabled them all and put them in groups, thinking that should make sense. If that didn't work I would then disable the validators again and put the database code back in. Fortunately that was not necessary.

Thanks for the idea, but my problem was caused because a button was not being rendered inside the <form> tags - so there was no parent form to submit. Kind of stupid, but with contractor's you get what you pay for.

This had me for several hours before I realized it was related to the google search. I had simply copied and pasted the code provided by google, which has a form tag in it. You can't do this with asp.net.

Anyone having problems where your buttons don't work in IE but do in other browswers, make sure you don't have any form tags other than the single form tag that is set to run at the server.

Thank you. After a day of pain wondering what I was doing wrong with every control I tried, I discovered after reading these posts that things were working just fine in FireFox (but not IE) and there was a <form> that was screwing things up. The surprise is that the <form> tag had been in the .aspx page for months and not causing problems, but it started to do so after I added some other server side controls to the page.

I had this same problem. In this case we had .net 2.0 and our imagebuttons were not working. The CAUSE was another <form> element inside the asp.net form. IE seems to not like this. Our SOLUTION was to remove the other form and used javascript to exec it instead (get the element values from the input fields and send to a function to process).
