Why many of ImageButton webcontrol's events are protected!!?

[Eyadtrabulsi]

Why many of ImageButton webcontrol are protected!!? like .OnClick and how could we reach them when we add ImageButton automatically??

I need to click the on the automatically added icon, so it sends the event to it's function, but I couldn't make it because you cannot reach .OnClick event, it's protected!!
and so is the "runat"

[joerozario]

there are two types of control
1. html control
2 .asp.net control

if u use html control then u have to write function in java scrip for onclick()

if it is a asp control u can get the event by duble clicking on the immage

thank u

But when I specify the attributes for the imagebutton I couldn't reach OnClick event

I mean:
ImageButton1.On Click
is not available to invoke the function by it when user clicks the image, it's protected..

What control are you using asp or HTML cause joerozario had a good train if thought with what he said then go on that

I didn't reach this point...

I clarified my code as follows

ImageButton[] imageBtt = new ImageButton[images.Length];
foreach (string image in images)
{

imageBtt[i] = new ImageButton();
imageBtt[i].ID = "imageBtt" + i;
imageBtt[i].Visible = true;

imageBtt[i].OnClick = "ImageButton_Cl ick";
imageBtt[i].ImageUrl = image;

ContentPlaceHol der3.Controls.A dd(imageBtt[i]);
i++;
}

I receives this error:

Line 80: imageBtt[i].OnClick = "ImageButton_Cl ick";

Compiler Error Message: CS0122: 'System.Web.UI. WebControls.Ima geButton.OnClic k(System.Web.UI .ImageClickEven tArgs)' is inaccessible due to its protection level

I don't know if I commited silly fault, but I'm not professional yet..

I'm wondering how could it be useful to get an event with no functionality following it I could link by .OnClick's contents

[Eyadtrabulsi]

!! Shifted to be answered...

[Eyadtrabulsi]

Please help me guys, it's the last step..

[joerozario]

make this function public

"ImageButton_Cl ick";

add event arguments (sender ...,eventArgume nts e) for the function if u r calling from java script

u can still add more function for a control

controlname.Att ributes.Add("on click","javascr ipt:popUpCalend ar(this, "+ txtDate.ClientI D + ",'MM/dd/yyyy');");

I didn't get the point till now..

Why OnClick is protected, and how simply can I reach it instead of creating new one

Please someone helps me, I badly need your help to do this, I provided my code which is clear, if there is any information is required please let me know

P.S. I don't know about javascript, I work only with C#

[Eyadtrabulsi]

I don't want to encode my optional "OnClick", I mean that I want the standard ImageButton.OnC lick to execute specific function when clicking the button which I added automatically

Maybe there is missunderstandi ng about what exactly I want to do..

[Eyadtrabulsi]

I tried both of the ways but it didn't work, I use ImageButton "not htmlImageButton " that means it's webcontrol

as for the first suggestion, I cannot double click on it because the ImageButton is not already exist, I generate it when loading the webpage, that what make me confused...

Why could I control OnClick event when ImageButton is already existed?? but cannot control it when I generate ImageButton at once, so there is no need to use ImageButton anymore, it would be the same as Image webcontrol !!!!

And why should I create new OnClick event by javascript, since it should be already available as feature of ImageButton

[Eyadtrabulsi]

Please somone tells me if it's possible to use .OnClick event with Auto-generated ImageButton

[Eyadtrabulsi]

Plz..... someone helps, I've been searching, reading and asking for more than a week, it's the last obstacle, if there is no solution please let me know..

[Eyadtrabulsi]

what's happening with this community?? Am I talking myself !!? I need only to know why it's protected, don't need any solution, but should know a reason, because it doesn't make sense like this with .NET
