LinkButton added at runtime - and fetch it!

All,

I've been trying to get this question answered before and I got some hints,
but nothing that really fit my needs.

Here's what I'm aiming at:

I create x number of LinkButton at run-time in a UserControl, no probs.

However, when I click on on of them, I want to fetch which one of them that
was clicked and a value which is assigned via lnkbtn.ID (I could also take
the .text attribute, but I prefer the .ID).

Here is my simple sample code:

For a As Integer = 0 To 5

Dim lnkbtn As New LinkButton
lnkbtn.ID = "lnkbtn_" & CType(a, String)
lnkbtn.Text = "Linkbutton " & a

Me.Controls.Add (lnkbtn)

Next

So far so good. Now, how do I write a procedure that fetch the button
clicked? I want to get the text or the ID from that button.

I've been on Google, a number of forums and MSDN but can't find anything
that really explains this.

I'm writing everything in VB. One suggestion I got was to use a DataList,
but that doesn't really work for me.

Please note:
I DON'T add anything in design-time.

All help appreciated!

Thanks,
Fredrik

Instead of this approach, why not set this information as part of the
CommandText. You can then wire-up a Command event to catch this instead of
the Click event.

Hope this helps,

Hi everyone! I've made quite a lot of research on this, and I've tried a couple of proposed solutions. Nothing has worked for me, but I feel there's not much I'm missing. So I'm turning to this group and its experts for answers. So : - I've got a main page (main.aspx) - On this page, I've got a button (btnArchive), on whose click I dynamically add a UserControl (archive.ascx) to the main page.

I have a DataGrid control with a LinkButton command column that deletes the row. What I want to do is set it up so that there's a client-side Confirm alert BEFORE the actual Delete command gets called on the server-side. That's easy to do with normal buttons, etc. as follows... <asp:Button ID="ConfirmBtn" Text="ConfimMe!" OnClientClick="if(!confirm('Are you sure?'))return false;" OnClick="ConfirmBtnClickHandler" Runat="server" /> But...

In a shopping cart app, suppose a user has placed 5 orders, I want to show him 5 LinkButtons (one for each order) so that when he clicks the first LinkButton, he would be shown the details of his first order. Likewise if he clicks the second LinkButton, he will be shown the details of the second order he had placed. The Text of the LinkButtons will be 1 2 3 etc. So this user would see 1 2 3 4 5 as the LinkButtons. The problem is...

Hi, I have a strange issue occurring with LinkButtons that are dynamically added to each (data) row of my DataGrid on that grid's ItemDataBound event. Each LinkButton is assigned its own event handler to deal with the Command event, but for some reason I can get this to work in a C# project but not in a newly created VB.NET one. The relevant VB.NET is as follows:

I have a linkbutton which is added to a column in a datagrid dynamically using a template I created. When I change the data in it by not databinding and then when I later retreive the data from the control after a post back it goes back to the value which was dynamically bounded. I have set up similar process with a checkbox template and it remebers the value. Are Linkbuttons not capable of this? and should I use something else?

Hi, The following sample shows a LinkButton in the HeaderTemplate of a Repeater control. The problem is that i'm not able to access the linkbutton in code (in the cs file) as long as the linkbutton stays in the repeater control - see the following line: testLink.CommandArgument = "just testing"; or testLink.Text = "Some new text";

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
