ASP.NET has this thing where pressing Enter on a page will cause it to be submitted, but no submit action is taken, mostly because you can have multiple buttons on a page, and it isn't sure which button it should consider clicked when you press enter.
The solution to this was the "__EVENTTYPE" field. Click here for more info on __EVENTTYPE.
Thankfully ASP.NET 2.0 has introduced some new features to help remove this complexity.
