Wanted: Help making minimal example of delegation work in ASP/C#

S

Siegfried Heintze

I'm practicing for the C# brain bench test by reviewing how delegates work.
(Delegates are easy to to with visual studio because you normally use the
delegates that some API as already defined. I'm worried they are going to
make me do my own delegates from scratch.) I see that line 33 of
Default.aspx is indeed executing when I single step with the debugger. As
you can see (on lines of 17 and 18 of propertyDemo.cs I have set up a
delegate and I'm single stepping thu this too). But why do not the contents
'"old=abc" new="xyz"'show up in the list box I have set up? It is clearly
being added when I single step with the debugger.

I have set up session state and when that did not work I set up ViewState
and that did not help either!
