Problem is, in the #2 it does not matter if it is True or "True" as I can
set the control visibility in that Sub, in the #2 method I can not get the
value of the CommandArgument which has the value of db field
"is_measure_customchecklist". I can get this value in #1, where I can not
set the visiblity of the LinkButton...
