Container control managing list of LinkButtons, trouble with delet

M

Mark

Hi...

I inherited an app that has a control for managing a variable list of
objects. On the page the list gets rendered with LinkButtons next to each
saying "Remove". All of the LinkButtons have id="remove_1", id="remove_2"
and so on.

Just noticed an interesting bug today. If you click remove_1, the postback
happens, the LinkButton's Click event fires and the first element gets
deleted.

When the resulting page is rendered what *was* remove_2 is now remove_1
(since the container control re-constructs the remaining list).

If I click the new remove_1 (former remove_2), the postback happens, all the
controls get instantiated but remove_1's Click event *does not fire*. It
just builds and renders the page again. If I click the LinkButton again,
then it does finally delete the entry.

It seems like there's some kind of state confusion stemming from re-using
the id "remove_1" - like it remembers the last one having been clicked and
therefore doesn't need to click again. But looking at the LinkButton class,
I don't see any state member that I could try to reset.

Where would I be able to clear the memory of the deleted member's having
been clicked?

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

I think code is needed for us to troubleshoot this issue. My action plan
is, I can provide a working code for you to compare with your current code
on your side to see what the difference is and you can provide me a demo
that can reproduce this problem to let me test on my side. In this way we
can come up with a solution quickly.

Here's my code. I use ViewState to store the datasource and use Repeater to
render the data.

Aspx:

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server"
onitemcommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#Container.DataItem %>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server"
CommandArgument='<%#Container.DataItem %>'
CommandName="Delete">Remove</asp:LinkButton>
<br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

Aspx.cs:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
List<int> list;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
list = ViewState["data"] as List<int>;
if (list == null)
{
list = new List<int>();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
list.Add(i);
}
ViewState["data"] = list;
}
this.Repeater1.DataSource = list;
if (!IsPostBack)
{
this.Repeater1.DataBind();
}
}

protected void Repeater1_ItemCommand(object source,
RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Delete")
{
list.Remove(Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument));
this.Repeater1.DataSource = list;
this.Repeater1.DataBind();
ViewState["data"] = list;
}
}
}

My email is (e-mail address removed) update here after sending the
project in case I missed that email.
