What is event bubbling in Asp.Net?

In this blog post we are discussing what is event bubbling? Event bubbling can be explained as handling of child controls through parent control in data bind controls known as event bubbling. Some Server Controls like Repeater control, Data List & Data Grid can bind from child controls.


Example Repeater control can have child button control. These child control do not raise there events by themselves, rather they pass the event to the container parent. which passed to the page as "ItemCommand" event. As the child control send events to parent it is termed as event bubbling.
