My project became corrupt today and since fixing i have noticed that at the end of events like button click its adding _1 at the end of everything
for example
private void createNewUserToolStripMenuItem_Click_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
where as it should obviously be
private void createNewUserToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
I have no idea what has happened but its causing me to repeat a lot of work. I have not duplicated controls or anything like that so i am very confused
Does anyone have any ideas? Please this is over 2 years of work and its looking like its knackered
Thanks to Idle_Mind this worked -
The designer lost the fact that the control was wired up and when you double click it it sees that there is already a method with that name so it adds one. All you need to do is select that control, go to the Events listing in the Properties pane, find that event, and then change the listed handler using the dropdown back to the original method. –

Basically I am getting this error
EventHandler "PressMeButton_Clicked" with correct signature not found in type "login.MainPage" (login)
login is the name of my project and login_Clicked is my clicked event handler
I'm trying to make a simple login page,and on the documentation I've seen various ways of Clicked working but everytime I try to write the method on the xaml.cs file when I compile it keeps giving the error above, if I remove the method it works.
<Button x:Name="PressMeButton"
Text="Press Me!"
Pressed="PressMeButton_Pressed"
Clicked="PressMeButton_Clicked" />
this is the XAML part you can see on Clicked the name I have for the event
and
private void PressMeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
(sender as Button).Text = "I was just clicked!";
}
So I expect to show me a text saying I was clickd but it does not even compile.
This is an old question, but I ran into a similar issue. There was no good explanation why it would give the error. It would even happen on an empty handler that the IDE generated itself. I tried cleaning the solution, rebuilding, etc.
I found that there were some stuck build tasks going still. They appeared in the bottom bar that normally shows "Ready". For me, the solution was restarting VS. Once it started back up, and build worked fine.
event handlers in the code-behind should be protected, not private
protected void PressMeButton_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
(sender as Button).Text = "I was just clicked!";
}
I want to be able to tell when the user cliked on a textbox and is in "edit" mode. Everywhere I look I see the textbox_Enter and textbox_Leave events being used with the instructions within that and it works fine. For me however it doesn't do anything. I tried elimination as many outside factors as possible, including creating a brand new project just for testing purposes and copied some code samples yet again nothing happens when I click on the textbox. I'm using Visual Studio 2017 on Windows 10 with Visual C# Application Windows Form (.NET Framework)
Also here's a sample of the code I try to use if it helps for whatever reason
private void textbox_Enter(object sender, ControlEventArgs e)
{
label.Text = "ok";
}
First of all the type of the e parameter is not correct: It must be EventArgs, not ControlEventArgs:
private void textbox_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Do something
}
Second, you need to register the event in the forms designer with the textbox control in the properties window:
You need to wire up this method to the textbox enter event. Select the control and then look at the events section in the properties tab.
I'm using Visual c# express 2010, I have 3 tabs and on the first tab there is a button that exits the program. I'm trying to call that button click on the 2nd and 3rd tab with
btnExit.PerformClick();
but since it isn't visible nothing happens. How would I call the invisible button click?
any help would be appreciated
EDIT:
Thanks for the replies, the two answers work great but I found a way that I think is easier and better.
instead of systematically changing tabs or calling a whole different method, I did this
btnExit_Click(sender, e);
I can put that in any other button click and it works great, very simple to.
I think it's better to create a method that actually has the code to exit the program, and call that method from btnExit click event and also other buttons click event, than PerformClick of the exit button.
void ExitApplication()
{
// code to exit the application
}
protected void btnExit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ExitApplication();
}
protected void ButtonInOtherTab_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ExitApplication();
}
This way it's easier to read and understand.
myTabs.SelectedTab = specificTab;
btnExit.PerformClick();
I'd like give focus to a textBox after a Tab has been selected but no matter what I try it doesn't work. I've looked at similar questions here but they don't get me the results I need. Here is what Ive tried.
private void tabBDERip_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBoxPassword.Focus();
}
and
private void tabAll_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tabAll.SelectedTab == tabBDERip)
{
textBoxPassword.Focus();
}
}
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
First thing the Click event of the TabPage control fires when the user clicks inside the TabPage not on the header so your SelectedIndexChanged event is the one you want to use.
I just tested code very similiar to yours:
private void tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (tabControl1.SelectedTab == tabPage2)
{
textBox4.Focus();
}
}
And it worked fine.
Is the password textbox not enabled or something like that?
If you try to call Focus() on a different control does that also not work?
If you set a breakpoint inside the SelectedIndexChanged code does it get hit?
Update: Interesting. If the breakpoint isn't getting hit (before the if) I would double check that your eventhandler is properly attached. Look in your designer.cs for something like:
this.tabControl1.SelectedIndexChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged);
Update: I put my working example at http://www.ccswe.com/temp/SO_TextBoxFocus.zip maybe looking at it will help you figure out where the issue is.
Update: The easier way to attach an event handler to a control on your form:
1: Select the Control to want to attach an event handler to and then click the Events icon (lightning bolt) in the Properties window.

2: Find the event you want to attach to and double click to the right.

3: A code stub will be automatically generated for you and the event will be attached in the designer.

If you look at the properties window again you'll now see the name of the method that was generated.
I'm having a problem setting up an event on a form. Here's the setup:
I was given a page with two controls, two different versions of a form for the end-user to fill out- standard and advanced. The two forms have different code and javascript, so the original dev put them in separate web user controls. Aside from the controls is a LinkButton that switches to Advanced mode.
<uc1:Standard runat="server" ID="StandardForm" />
<uc1:Advanced runat="server" ID="AdvancedForm" />
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lnkAdvanced" Text="Go To Advanced" OnClick="lnkAdvanced_Click" />
lnkAdvanced_Click just takes all the info currently entered to the advanced and flips the Visible.
My problem is that one of the bosses wants the 'Go to Advanced' button inside the standard form, but the .Visible code is on the page. So I thought it could be done using an event, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I tried to set up the event like this:
public event EventHandler AdvanceClick;
protected void lnkAdvanced_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
AdvanceClick(sender, e);
}
And when that didn't work, I tried to set up a delegate:
public delegate void AdvancedEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);
public event AdvancedEventHandler AdvanceClick;
When I moved the button to the standard form, I expected to be able to type something like:
StandardForm.AdvanceClick += new AdvancedEventHandler(GoToAdvanced);
But it doesn't seem to recognize any events within the control! I get an error: "Standard does not contain a definition for 'AdvanceClick' and no extension method 'AdvanceClick accepting a first argument of type 'Standard' could be found" It finds the other properties just fine, am I going about this the wrong way?
// in your Standard user control
public event EventHandler AdvancedClick;
private void lbtnAdvanced_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OnAdvancedClick(e);
}
protected void OnAdvancedClick(EventArgs e)
{
if (AdvancedClick != null)
AdvancedClick(this, e);
}
// on your page
StandardForm.AdvancedClick += new EventHandler(StandardForm_AdvancedClick);
private void StandardForm_AdvancedClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// toggle logic here
}
If the standard form has the "Switch to advanced" button. Then, clearly, it has to know about the Advanced form and thus they seem to be pretty tightly coupled. If this is the case, it seems to me that you might as well just have the advanced form as a child of the standard form then... or better yet, merge them into one control.
If you don't like these options you might want to create a third controls which hosts the button and the two forms, along with the logic to move data between them and toggle their visibility.
I personally recommend the single control option. Having tighly coupled controls usually just leads to confusion down the road. You could loosen up the dependency in various ways, but think hard about it before you do so.
In the legacy project I currently work on we have a bunch of examples such as serach forms and search results being split up into multiple controls, but then in the end needing each others instances to function properly. As I said earlier, I wont reccomend this path.
You shouldn't need the delegate because you've created a standard event.
Try in your form load or thereabouts:
StandardForm.AdvanceClick += new EventHandler(GoToAdvanced);
Then somewhere on the page that hosts the 2 user controls
protected void GoToAdvanced(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//Code that was previously in lnkAdvanced_Click on page.
}
Edit:
It does sound like the setup is wrong.
Can you post the markup for the Host page (at this point we are assuming it is simply the 2 user controls).
Then we are also assuming that the AdvanceClick event is declared in the Standard UC but the error message would indicate that it doesn't.. and the lnkAdvanced_Click method is in the Standard UC?
Then we are assuming the code that is attempting to attach to the custom event is declared in the Host page.
If you could confirm or deny the assumptions i'm sure we could get this cleared up.
