Trouble with Parent page subscribing to nested child control eventhandler - eventhandler

Question

I am working on a budgeting project. I have listed incomes in a listview control with deductions nested in another listview control for each income listview item.
I am having trouble subscribing to the DeductionsChanged EventHandler. FOr the example below, I am trying to get the delete action to fire the DeductionsChanged event so that the BindIncome() can be called on the parent page; but DeductionsUpdated is always null, and ucDeductionsEditor_DeductionsUpdated never gets fired.
What am I missing here?
USER CONTROL
namespace BillMoney.UserControls.BillMoneyUserControls
{
public partial class IncomeDeductionsEditor : BillMoney.App_Code.BaseUserControl
{
public EventHandler DeductionsUpdated;
public virtual void OnDeductionsUpdated(EventArgs e)
{
DeductionsUpdated?.Invoke(this, e); // This is always null even though it is subscribed to in lvIncome_ItemDataBound
}
public Int32 Invalue_IncomeId
{
get { return (ViewState["Invalue_IncomeId"] != null) ? (Int32)ViewState["Invalue_IncomeId"] : 0; }
set
{
ViewState["Invalue_IncomeId"] = value;
BindDeductions();
}
}
...
protected void lvDeductions_ItemDeleting(object sender, ListViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
ListView lvDeductions = (ListView)sender;
Int32 deductionid = DataTypeMapper.GPC_CInt(lvDeductions.DataKeys[e.ItemIndex].Value);
DeductionMGR.Delete(deductionid);
OnDeductionsUpdated(null); // This DOES fire when I click the delete button
BindDeductions();
}
...
private void BindDeductions()
{
List<DeductionDTO> deductions = new List<DeductionDTO>();
deductions = DeductionMGR.GetList(Invalue_IncomeId);
lvDeductions.DataSource = deductions;
lvDeductions.DataBind();
}
}
}

Answer 1

Tuns out I needed to wire it up in the parent listview item created
protected void lvIncome_ItemCreated(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem)
{
ListViewDataItem item = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
IncomeDeductionsEditor ucDeductionsEditor = (IncomeDeductionsEditor)item.FindControl("ucDeductionsEditor");
ucDeductionsEditor.DeductionsUpdated += ucDeductionsEditor_DeductionsUpdated;
}
}
