Remarks
The Click event is raised when a list item in the BulletedList control is clicked. To enable list items in a BulletedList control to raise the Click event, you must first set the DisplayMode property to the value LinkButton.
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.
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 the OnClick(BulletedListEventArgs) method in a derived class, be sure to call the OnClick(BulletedListEventArgs) method for the base class so that registered delegates receive the event.
