Generate button click event in asp.net

Question

I have an HTML button control and on click I want to call a asp.net button click event. I want to know how can I generate a click event handler in code behind?

when I am trying to do this in the Page_Load event:

 btnSearch.Click += new EventHandler();

I get error:

btnSearch doesnot exist in the current context

Here is the HTML:

<input type="button" class="SmallButton ButtonSpacingAfter" value="Search" id="btnSearch" onserverclick="Button1_Click"/>

You need to convert it to a server side control by specifying runat="server" .

<input id="foo "runat="server" type="button" onserverclick="foo_OnClick" />
