Hi Imar,

Can you please take a look?

http://binaryjack.com/userControl.aspx

Each record is displayed using a user control. I have the delete button embedded in the user control.

Recreate Problem: click the first DELETE button, the last row gets deleted; after this I have to click the delete button (any of them) twice to make it work.

1) Is it bad practice to use a User Control (combined with a placeholder) to display a bunch of records? I query to get all records and then use a Foreach loop to populate each User Control and insert each UC into the placeholder.

2) Why does the Delete button not respond correctly?

Hi there,

What'sthe reason you're using User Controls in a foreach loop? Why not simply use something like a ListView to present each item?

Using a UC is not a bad practice per se, but you'll run into all kinds of problems including state (you'll need to recreate the tree after a postback for example).

>> Why does the Delete button not respond correctly?

Don't know. I am not allowed to use my psychic skills here so it'll be impossible to say anything useful without seeing relevant code ;--)

Finally, since this is not related to my book, can we continue this discussion in a general ASP.NET cateogy: http://p2p.wrox.com/asp-net-4-539/

Cheers,

Imar
