My button in my GridViews footer is not firing when clicked. No errors, no code gets executed, all it does is a refresh and everything on the page remains exactly as it were before the button click. Debugging doesn't even execute.
Declared code behind as per normal
Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" CodeBehind="RetailCompetition.aspx.vb" Inherits="Company.Applications.Production.UI.RetailCompetition"
Event
Protected Sub dgvRetailCompetitions_RowCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCommandEventArgs)
Try
If e.CommandName = "Insert" AndAlso Page.IsValid Then
Dim _refYear As Integer = (ddlYears.SelectedValue.ToString())
Dim _rewardDescription As String = (CType(dgvRetailCompetitions.FooterRow.FindControl("txtRewardsDescription"), TextBox)).Text
Dim _categoryACondition As Integer = (CType(dgvRetailCompetitions.FooterRow.FindControl("txtCatAConditions"), TextBox)).Text
Dim _categoryBCondition As Integer = (CType(dgvRetailCompetitions.FooterRow.FindControl("txtCatBConditions"), TextBox)).Text
Dim _categoryCCondition As Integer = (CType(dgvRetailCompetitions.FooterRow.FindControl("txtCatCConditions"), TextBox)).Text
Company.Applications.Production.BusinessAccess.RetailCompetitionBusinessAccess.InsertNewRetailCompetitionRecord(_refYear,
_rewardDescription,
_categoryACondition,
_categoryBCondition, _categoryCCondition)
End If
Catch ex As Exception
InformationBox.ShowErrorMessage("Failed")
End Try
End Sub
And the button
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Ref. Year" SortExpression="ReferenceYear" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("RefYear") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("RefYear") %>'></asp:Label>
</EditItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnInsertRecord" runat="server" CommandName="Insert" Text="Insert Record" ValidationGroup="Insert" CssClass="buttonBlue"/>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
Can anybody see anything wrong?

After taking a look I have two possible suggestions for you -
1) Check where you are binding your grid view -
It should be inside - !IsPostBack
Eg:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
grid.DataBind();
}
}
2) Have you disabled ViewState somewhere?
EDIT - Issue Resolved
In your asp:GridView there needs to be a onrowcommand to trigger the command in codebehind. Add this to your asp:gridview tag in the .aspx page
onrowcommand="dgvRetailCompetitions_RowCommand"
