Control doesn't respond to Postback

[Janaka]

I have a Custom Control which is used for searching on my site. I've made
it a child of a PlaceHolder, which is contained within the server form tag.
This uses client and server-side validation and both of these work
correctly. The Page_Load event handles fine in my custom control but
whenever I try to do a search the page will postback but the "Search" event
is not fired. I've checked my Button control is wired to the "Search"
event. Is this a problem because the control is contained within a
PlaceHolder?

Hi Janaka,
If your control receives postback events you must
implement IPostBackEventHandler.

Hope that helps
Have a great day

Thanks for the reply. I found out what the problem was though. I was
adding the Control to the PlaceHolder during onPreRender hence it was being
added after the PostBack event handler was called.
