ASP Button OnClick codebehind has no action

Question

I am completely dumbfounded by this. I have created many webforms and been successful with the same approach. I have seen many posts on this exchange regarding similar issues, but i haven't seen anything completely pertinent.

When I click on the Button, nothing occurs.

Does anyone know what I have missed?

My HTML and ASP markup are as follows:

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="btn_AddSystem" onclick="BtnClick_SubmitNewSystem" Text="Add" />

The C# codebehind:

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
        btn_AddSystem.Click += new EventHandler(this.BtnClick_SubmitNewSystem);
   }

    protected void BtnClick_SubmitNewSystem(Object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write("working");
        }catch (Exception ex)
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write(ex.Message);
        }
    }

If nothing means that it not even post to server then It might be possible that you have some validators in place causing this. — Claudio Redi, Nov 05 '13 at 23:39
Try to disable ValidationControls or put "CauseValidation=false" at your button markup — Wagner Leonardi, Nov 05 '13 at 23:40

I found the solution. Based on further investigation. My buttons are with a SimpleModal jQuery plugin which was effectively moving the buttons outside of the ASP code.

SimpleModal breaks ASP.Net Postbacks

I am happy for this post to be marked for deletion.
