asp.net building controls: Hi,=20

How do I dynamically add linkbuttons and wire them to same event? I am =
able to add linkbuttons but they do not fire the event. Does anybody =
have a working sample?



Many thanks,

Hi Linda,

If their events are not firing then I'm guessing you may be adding them =
too late in the execution lifecycle. At which point are you adding them? =
Also any short sample code you could provide will greatly help the =
guessing game.

Many thanks,

Linda,

You have to add an event handler to the control that you added
dynamically. For the below example code I created a new ASP.NET
project and placed a PlaceHolder control on the form.

In the Page_Load event place the following code:

'Instance a link button
Dim MyLinkButton As New LinkButton

'Set the text
MyLinkButton.Text = "Click Here for Google"

'Dynamically add to Place Holder
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(MyLinkButton)

'Add an event handler to button
AddHandler MyLinkButton.Click, AddressOf HandleMyLinkButtonClick


Then create a sub (delagate) to handle the click. It must have the
parameters as in the example. This example redirects to Google.

Sub HandleMyLinkButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com")
End Sub


If you have multiple links pointing to the same Handler you could use
something like the following to determine which link was clicked:

SelectedItemText = CType(sender, LinkButton).Text


Hope that helps.
