Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Enabled property. The page contains two ImageButton controls. The Enabled property is set to true for the EnabledImageButton image button, causing it to post back to the server when clicked. The Enabled property is set to false for the NotEnabledImageButton image button, causing it to render on the page, but not post back to the server when clicked.

Note

The following code sample uses the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Code Model.

Remarks

Use the Enabled property to specify whether an ImageButton can be clicked to perform a post back to the server. If you set this property to false, the control renders on the page, but does not raise a post back event when clicked.
