Use OnClick event from another button link

I have an image and a hyperlink button. I want the image to go to the same link as the hyperlink.

Sub Mylink_Click ( attirbutes) Handles mylink_click
Server.Transfer(mylink.aspx)
End Sub

Sub Myimage_Click ( attributes) Handles myimage_click
Mylink_Click() 'Doesn't work
End Sub

Isn't there a better way?

Sub Myimage_Click ( attributes) Handles myimage_click
mylink.PerformClick() ' assuming that button has mylink name
End Sub

Hi there...
use an "ImageButton"... instead of "Image"...

It actually is an ImageButton, sorry.

try

Sub Mylink_Click ( attirbutes) Handles mylink_click, myimage_click
Server.Transfer(mylink.aspx)
End Sub

I won't be able to try this for about 5 more hours. I'll let you know. Thanks for all the input.

sorry.. I was out for lunch...

ok.. if you want to execute the evant handler of the link from the Imgae Button.. do this...

Mylink_Click ( attirbutes)
inside the ImageButton_click. Parameter for this will be (sender, e)... no need to go for server.transfer.

I'm not understanding what you're saying Baan. ?

DotNetLover_Baan

ok... you want this... right?

change Myimage_click...
Sub Myimage_Click ( attributes) Handles myimage_click
Mylink_Click(attributes) 'Will work (Attribute=> Sender,e)

That is what I actually have, it starts redirecting it but I think it gets messed up somehow because in my link I have a raise event too...

Sub mylink_click (attributes)
Raise.Myevent( sender, e)
Server.Transfer(mylink.aspx)
End Sub

DotNetLover_Baan

hmmm... well.. did you try Response.Redirect("mylink.aspx") ? might work

The reason why
Sub Mylink_Click ( attirbutes) Handles mylink_click
Server.Transfer(mylink.aspx)
End Sub

Sub Myimage_Click ( attributes) Handles myimage_click
Mylink_Click() 'Doesn't work
End Sub

Because when a click is called as an event ( that is when you click stuff ) certain arguments are passed automatically to the the event handler hence if you manually call the click event it will not work. I would suggest the best solution to be what rfgkev mentioned above..

Sub Mylink_Click ( attirbutes) Handles mylink_click
DoTransfer()
End Sub

Sub Myimage_Click ( attributes) Handles myimage_click
DoTransfer()
End Sub

Private Sub DoTransfer
Server.Transfer(mylink.aspx)
End Sub
