C# WinForms events not firing

Question

As the title suggests, I cannot get a single event to fire from an MDIChild application. No mouse event, no load, keypress, nothing at all.

 private void btnSave_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {Console.WriteLine("Clicked");}

this.btnSave.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnSave_Click);

Selected the event from the properties window, manually subscribed to the event and yet nothing at all.

Answer 1

As the comments suggest you could insert a break point to see if these events are being fired.

From the information in your question it looks like the issue is that you're calling

Console.WriteLine

From a Winforms application.If you want to see somethng appear you could try

MessageBox.Show("Clicked")

Console applications would show Console.WriteLine, but the fact that you have buttons suggests a WinForms app.
