Steve,
Search for "handles", "withevents", "commandargument", "commandname"
Three simple steps to wire up custom buttons
1. the control is declared withevents in the class that will receive the
event.
Private WithEvents btn1 As New Button
2. The control is added to the controls collection
Me.Controls.Add(btn1)
3. Use the handles keyword on the sub
Protected Sub Click1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles btn1.Click
....do something cool
End Sub
Good Luck

Thanks for the input, DWS. As it happens, I'm working in C# (but I know VB
and follow the code below just fine), and I already have the C# equivalent of
everything below. I have a variety of other dynamically created controls
that are working (LinkButtons, Buttons, etc, firing/handling events w/
commandname/commandargument successfully), only the ImageButtons are failing.
I'm wondering if my problem is somehow related to this:

Thanks,
