asp.net c# UserControl

I have a UserControl that works.

It's an abstract class which inherits System.Web.UI.UserControl

I declare it in the parent
protected classname controlname;

When I compile my project, I get a warning error in the Task List saying

The type 'System.Web.UI.UserControl' has no event named 'CancelEvent'.

It seems to be coming from my InitializeComponent() function in the parent where I add the usercontrol event that ties the usercontrol event to the parent eventhandler -

this.ctlAddNewRule.CancelEvent += new NewRulePanel.CancelEventHandler(this.OnCancelNewRu leEvent);

I can't find any explanation for this.

Thanks, Dawn.

Remove that line of code, and the warning should go away.

If I remove the event in the parent

this.ctlAddNewRule.CancelEvent += new NewRulePanel.CancelEventHandler(this.OnCancelNewRu leEvent);

the parent that contains the UserControl won't be triggered to perform the appropriate functions that occur after either the Add or Cancel Add done in the UserControl.

What I don't understand is why my public event in my class, that inherits from UserControl, is generating a warning that the event doesn't exist in the UserControl class?

Not sure if you figured this out because this thread is a bit old but here is the solution.

Change your event declaration to private from public

private event [delegate] eventname;

that should do it. Pretty simple.

Addition to previous messge:

To fix this problem I removed the Event Hookup from the InitComponet and added it to the page_onload event. This seems to have fixed the problem. For some reason the IDE does not allow the custom event hookups to reside in the Initcomponent and removes the code.
