Submit button in embedded User Control doesnt work (C#)

[temikolawole]

I have a user control on every single page on my website. Its called
sidenav.ascx. It has a sidemenu and some extras. One of the extras is a
login div that shows only when one of the images on the menu is
clicked.

It has an asp button to submit username ans password:

<asp:button id="btnLogin" runat="server" cssClass="input1" Text="Login"
Width="50" OnClick="btnLogin_Click"></asp:button>

I have a codebehind for the user control (sidenav.ascx.cs) with a class
supposed to be called when btnLogin is clicked:

public void btnLogin_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
....
}

but it doesnt call the class. all it does is a postback and refreshes
the page it's on.

Can anybody help me out?

If you click btnLogin in design view (assuming you are using visual
studio), does it go to the correct codebehind code for btnLogin_Click?

Yes it does. Just tried it.
