AddHandler not firing in User Control

[AMS]

I am adding a radcombobox dynamically when certain parameters are met. This is happening inside an ajaxpanel in a user control. The code to add the combobox is as follows:

Dim dropDownList As New RadComboBox
dropDownList.ID = associatedAttribute.Name
dropDownList.CssClass = "attributeDropdownList"
dropDownList.DataSource = associatedAttribute.AttributeItemCollection
dropDownList.DataTextField = "FormattedAmount"
dropDownList.DataValueField = "fldSkuSuffix"
dropDownList.DataBind()
dropDownList.Skin = "SkyBlue"
AddHandler dropDownList.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf dropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged
dropDownList.AutoPostBack = True
dropDownList.Items.Insert(0, New RadComboBoxItem("--Select--", String.Empty))
If associatedAttribute.IsRequired Then
    Dim rfv As New RequiredFieldValidator()
    rfv.ControlToValidate = dropDownList.ID
    rfv.Display = ValidatorDisplay.None
    rfv.ErrorMessage = String.Format("Please Select", associatedAttribute.Name)
    pnlProductAttributes.Controls.Add(rfv)
End If
pnlProductAttributes.Controls.Add(dropDownList)

When the page is rendered, it is rendered correctly. So this all seems ok, except that the AddHandler is not firing. The code for the handler event is:

Private Sub dropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs)
        Dim dropDownList As RadComboBox = TryCast(sender, RadComboBox)
        If dropDownList IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim myLabel As Label = TryCast(ThisPage.cartUpdatePanel.FindControl(dropDownList.ID), Label)
            If myLabel IsNot Nothing Then
                myLabel.Text = String.Format("<strong>{0}:</strong>&nbsp;{1}<br/>", dropDownList.ID, dropDownList.SelectedItem.Text)
            End If
        End If
        Dim skuId As String = GetSku()
        GetInventory(skuId)
    End Sub

The code in the event handler works as i have tested this with just a regular asp dropdownlist. Why will it not work for radcombobox?

Hello Walter,

In which event are you trying to create and add a new combobox? I tried creating the combobox and adding its SelectionIndexChanged event handler in the PageLoad event and its working as expected. Check out for any differences from the code below:
cs:

     Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

         Dim ddl As New DropDownList()
         ddl.DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource1"
         ddl.DataTextField = "ContactName"
         ddl.DataValueField = "ID"
         AddHandler ddl.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged
         ddl.AutoPostBack = True
         Panel1.Controls.Add(ddl)
         ddl.DataBind()

     End Sub



     Protected Sub ddl_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

     End Sub

Thanks
Princy.

Princy,

I am adding in the Page_Load event as well. This is in a user control not a regular aspx page.
The way this is happening is like this:

site.master page
content.page
user control         <- Event handler is here and combobox is being created here.

It is never firing off, but if I use the same code with a asp dropdownlist it works fine.

Thanks for the help,
Walter

Hi AMS,

I suggest that you open a new support ticket and attach a sample working project there demonstrating the issue.

Thanks

I made a test project and it is working, so then I tried it again in my main project and it is working now. The only thing that has changed is it is now using the latest build of the controls. So something must have fixed it in the newer build.

Thanks,
Walter
