HowTo: Trap masterpage events... on the child Page

I have a masterpage that has an update button on it. When that button click evetn is fired I need to also need to trigger a second event on the child page. I need to update two seperate records using the same button click..

here is the code I have on the masterpage

public delegate void UpdateButtonEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e);

public event UpdateButtonEventHandler UpdateButtonClick;

    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            this.UpdateButtonClick += new UpdateButtonEventHandler(DoUpdateClick);

...}

    protected void btn_Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        UpdateButtonClick(sender, e);
    }

    protected void DoUpdateClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Write("");
    }

It works on the master page but I can not get it to also fire on the child page. I would much prefer to handle the firing on the masterpage in the btn_Update_Click all by it's self. and catch the tirggered evetn in the child page. ANY help would be GREATLY appreachiated...

Figured out the ANSWER..

On the Master page Get rid of all the crud and use the native click event

    protected void btn_Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Write("");
    }

Then add the followign Code to the child Page...

public partial class Detail : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    Button UpdateButton =new Button();

    public void DoUpdates(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Response.Write("");
    }

    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        UpdateButton = (Button)(Master.FindControl("btn_Update"));
        UpdateButton.Click += new EventHandler(DoUpdates);
    }
}

Now I get both alert windows with the single Click
