ASP.NET Button UseSubmitBehavior Property

# Button UseSubmitBehavior Property

Button Control

## Definition and Usage

The UseSubmitBehavior property specifies if the Button control uses the browser's built-in submit function or the ASP.NET postback mechanism.

This property is set to TRUE if the control uses the browser's submit function. FALSE otherwise. Default value is TRUE.

When set to FALSE, ASP.NET adds a client-side script to post the form. This enables control developers to use the GetPostBackEventReference method to return the client postback event for the Button.

## Syntax

<asp:Button UseSubmitBehavior="TRUE|FALSE" runat="server" />

## Example

The following example uses the ASP.NET postback mechanism:

<script runat="server">
Sub SubmitBtn(obj As Object, e As EventArgs)
lblMsg.Text = "Submitted using the ASP.NET postback mechanism."
End Sub
</script>
<form runat="server">
Click the button:
<asp:button id="Button1" runat="server"
Text="Submit" onclick="SubmitBtn"
UseSubmitBehavior="FALSE" /><br />
<asp:label id="lblMsg" runat="server"/>
</form>
