Remarks

The Click event is raised when the ImageButton control is clicked. By using the OnClick event handler, you can programmatically determine the coordinates where the image is clicked. You can then code a response, based on the values of these coordinates. Note that the origin (0, 0) is located at the upper left corner of the image.

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see How to: Consume Events in a Web Forms Application.

The OnClick method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnClick(ImageClickEventArgs) in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnClick(ImageClickEventArgs) method so that registered delegates receive the event.
