The NodeClick Event Does Not Fire

The only prerequisite for the NodeClick event to fire is to have an event handler associated with it. However, even if you have an associated event handler, sometimes it still does not fire. Here are two possible reasons:

  1. The PostBack property of Nodes is set to False. In order for the NodeClick event to fire, a postback should be made when a Node is clicked. Therefore the PostBack property of Nodes which fire the NodeClick event should be set to True.

  2. The Nodes are marked with NavigateUrl - if the NavigateUrl property is set, clicking a Node will cause another page to be opened either in a new or the same window. Hence, the NodeClick event will not fire as there has been a page redirection.
