raising events in usercontrol

I have a content page that will contain a couple of updatepanels with usercontrols in them. In one usercontrol (ucHieReport) I'm raising an event (ShowSelectedCellMessage(CellMessage As String)).

In my content page I have a sub to show a popup message to the user (Protected Sub ShowMasterPageMessageWindow(Message As String)).

What I don't know is how to wire the event in the control up to the content page.

The content markup is this:

<asp:UpdatePanel ID="upReports" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional">
        <ContentTemplate>
            <uc:HieReport runat="server" ID="ucHieReport" OnErrorOccurred="HandleUserControlErrors" />
        </ContentTemplate>
    </asp:UpdatePanel>

Open in new window

usercontrol codebehind:

Public Event ShowSelectedCellMessage(CellMessage As String)

In the codebehind of the content page if I do this ucHieReport. the intellisense does not show the event declared in the user control. I would think it should.

Well, that might work for a button but I don't see how I can incorporate that into how I'm raising the event.

In the control I have a gridview. On that gridview's RowCommand event I'm trying to raise the ShowSelectedCellMessage event.

So in the page load of the control, how do you add the new event to that (gvHIE_RowCommand)?

 Protected Sub gvHIE_RowCommand(sender As Object, e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles gvHIE.RowCommand

        Dim _gridView As GridView = CType(sender, GridView)
        _gridView.EditIndex = -1
        RaiseEvent ShowSelectedCellMessage(e.CommandArgument.ToString)
End Sub
