Kevin,

No, you are not doing anything wrong. You must remember that a web application has no state, meaning that nothing really happens until you "PostBack" to the server at which time your page_load event fires and then your control events. It takes a little getting used to especially if you're coming from a windows programming environment that has 'state'.
