I have experience with VB.Net on WinForms but new to web and ASP.Net programming. I am working thorugh Jacob Sanford's ASP.Net 2.0 Design book (excellent book BTW!).

My problem is that I put a textbox,button and label on a master page

<tr>
<td colspan="2" height="150" bgcolor="Gray" valign="middle" align="center">
Header Text:
<p>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Update Header Text"
OnClick="Button1_Click"/>
</p>
<p>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>
</p>
</td>
</tr>

I then added the OnClick event code to the master page's code page

    Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
     Label1.Text = TextBox1.Text
     TextBox1.Text = ""
    End Sub

I test it with IE6. When the button is clicked, the OnClick event gets called twice. I know this because I put a break in debug mode and saw it.

What is my problem?

TIA,
John

Your click handler is getting wired to the click event twice:

Here in the "OnClick" attribute:
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Update Header Text" OnClick="Button1_Click"/>

and here with the "Handles" keyword:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Use one but not both. If you are using Visual Studio you should only be getting one or the other.

Thank you Peter for that quick response. Indeed that was the problem. I used VS to create the "Handles..." code but manually entered it in the ASP section.
