I need to get a CommandArgument from linkbutton inside a userControl

for this pourpose I'm using this code

public partial class userControl_menu : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
    //private string _argument;
    public string argument
    {
        get
        {
            return ViewState["argument"] == null ?
                 "Default Value!" :
                  (string)ViewState["argument"];
        }
        set { ViewState["argument"] = value; }
    }
    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        nuovi.Command += new CommandEventHandler(imgClick);
        anagrafiche.Command += new CommandEventHandler(imgClick);
        catalogo.Command += new CommandEventHandler(imgClick);
    }
    protected void imgClick(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
    {
        argument = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
    }
} 

but when i'm trying to get the value in the destination page i get "Default Value!"

if i  re-click  I get the correct value

now, does anyone know what is the correct way to do what I need in the first click?

thank you bye

Hey,

Are you trying to access it on the same postback as the  button click?  Are you checking it in page load?  Button click handlers fire after page load, and the proper place to process it is in the prerender event.

yes this is exactly what I do but nothing happen

when I set a point of debbuger over    " protected void imgClick(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)"  this is not fired (the first click)

looks like the PostBackUrl come before but I don't know

 There are two ways : 1st in aspx page use prerender event as per bmains 

or 2nd you have to create delegate/event for your user control

Hey,

You could use the Click event instead; also Command is only fired if CommandName is established.
