Examples

The following code example uses the OnClick event of a Button control to generate client-side script for a HyperLink control that will allow the HyperLink control to cause a postback event. Because the ActionUrl property of the myPostBackOptions object is set to "Page2.aspx", the postback will post the Web Forms page to another page named "Page2.aspx", which is not provided here. To use this example, you must add another Web page named "Page2.aspx" to your project or directory.

Remarks

The PostBackOptions class allows controls to emit client-side script that initiates a postback event. The PostBackOptions class also provides a reference to the control that initiated the postback event through the TargetControl property. The postback event is created based on the options specified in the PostBackOptions object passed in to the ClientScriptManager.GetPostBackEventReference method.

Normally, a postback to the server is initiated by elements such as a Submit button or an Image button. However, by emitting client-side JavaScript, different controls can initiate a postback event.

Constructors

PostBackOptions(Control, String, String, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, Boolean, String)	Initializes a new instance of the PostBackOptions class with the specified values for the instance's properties.
PostBackOptions(Control, String)	Initializes a new instance of the PostBackOptions class with the specified target control and argument data.
PostBackOptions(Control)	Initializes a new instance of the PostBackOptions class with the specified target control data.

Properties

ActionUrl	Gets or sets the target URL for the postback of a Web Forms page.
Argument	Gets or sets an optional argument that is transferred in the postback event.
AutoPostBack	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the form will automatically post back to the server in response to a user action.
ClientSubmit	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the postback event should occur from client-side script.
PerformValidation	Gets or sets a value indicating whether client-side validation is required before the postback event occurs.
RequiresJavaScriptProtocol	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the `javascript:` prefix is generated for the client-side script.
TargetControl	Gets the control target that receives the postback event.
TrackFocus	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the postback event should return the page to the current scroll position and return focus to the current control.
