Hi,

I have based my code on the Microsoft example, adding a linkbutton dynamically to a datagrid. The linkbutton has a OnClick event that I have wired-in dynamically at run-time. The trouble is that when clicked, the event handler does not fire. Can anyone explain why, please?

My code is:

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

If Not IsPostBack Then

' Add a template field consisting of a single linkbutton control

customField.ItemTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(DataControlRowType.DataRow, "Faculty")

End If

End Sub

MsgBox("Clicked: " & CType(sender, LinkButton).Text)

Implements ITemplate

Private columnName As String

End Sub

Implements ITemplate.InstantiateIn

' Create the content for the different row types.

Case DataControlRowType.Header

lc.Text = "<b>" & columnName & "</b>"

' Add the controls to the Controls collection

' of the container.

Dim Faculty As New LinkButton

Case Else

' Insert code to handle unexpected values.

End Select

Dim l As LinkButton = CType(sender, LinkButton)

l.Text = DataBinder.Eval(row.DataItem, "Faculty").ToString()

End Sub

End Class

Move the column instantation to Page_Init

   Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
        Dim customField As New TemplateField
        customField.ItemTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(DataControlRowType.DataRow, "Faculty")
        customField.HeaderTemplate = New GridViewTemplate(DataControlRowType.Header, "Faculty")
        AuthorsGridView.Columns.Add(customField)
    End Sub

Thank you. That's fine now.
