How to prevent button click 2 times in update panel?

Question

I have a button which is in update panel. When I click on button then it click event run two times. How can I prevent second time click event?

Answer 1

Check if you did not attach the handler function twice to the click event (for example once by html/javascript and once in the vb code).

Answer 2

I had the same problem.

I had an "onclick=swap_img" in the aspx code and the following in the vb code so it ran twice. I just removed the onclick in the aspx code:

Protected Sub swap_img(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs) Handles btn_img.Click

Answer 3

Why not disable the button at the start of the button callback function...

Then, using something sensible like a try/finally block, enable the button at the end, in the finally.

Answer 4

On Page load, you can use:

button.Attributes.Add("onClick", "<< javascript >>")

... to attach some javascript to the Click event of the button.

You can find javascript to disable the button with a simple Google search.
