Hello
Please excuse me if this come in as a duplicate.
Here is the situation that I am having: I am pulling data from a database and writing it out as a list. Next to each item that I write, I want to make a linkbutton control which will allow you to invalidate the database record. Since I don't know how many records will be present, I need to have all of the linkbuttons access the same event. The trick is to know WHICH linkbutton was pressed. Is there a way that anyone can suggest to accomplish this? I have been trying to do this for a good deal of time so far
Thank you
Andre

Andrew, I presume you are writing it out as a datalist. No matter which button the user clicks in the datalist, the ItemCommand event fires. Inside ItemCommand, e.item is the datalistitem of the row that was clicked, and in e.item.controls you'll find the data that's shown in the grid. In addition to or instead of, you can bind the linkbutton's CommandArgument property to your primary key field, then retrieve CommandArgument in ItemCommand and use it to go get your data from somewhere, etc. (this is handy when you want a key or something that you're not showing in the grid, although you can do that too with hidden fields). ht

Thank you for the reply
Actually, I'm not using a datalist. Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to get two or more (a variable quantity) of controls[linkbuttons, specifically] to fire the same event, and have the event handler know which one threw the event
Is there a way that anyone knows
Thanks

Just attach the same handler to the event you want from each of the controls, then in the handler use the "sender" object to figure out who sent it--e.g. you've got a bunch of buttons, you attach MyButtonHandler to each button's Click event, and then in MyButtonHandler you do something like (button)sender. name to figure out who was clicked. Does that help

Hi,
I am trying to dynamically create linkbuttons. They need an event handler,
so i can respond to the user's click.
I try to add the eventhandler on the fly, but when i click on the link, the
code does not execute, it just reloads the page.
Where am i going so wrong? i don't understand what's missing.
many thanks in advance.

In my ASP.NET application I have a button that when pressed, data needs to

In the page life cycle, event handlers are called after the page is loaded.
The problem is, the save is done after the controls are loaded, so the...

Hi,
This is what I am doing, please comment if this is the correct way.
I need to add controls to a form dynamically.
Within the Page_Load event (is not Postback) I run a routine to create the
controls, and populate the dropdowns etc,
I use addhandler to define delegates to capture events raised by the
controls.
I store these controls in a hashtable.

I have a user control that in turn creates a bunch of webcontrols
dynamically and handles the events these webcontrols raise. It used to work
fine on ASP .Net 1.1 but when compiled on 2.0 it does not. The problem is
that the webcontrols get created on the OnLoad event of the usercontrol and
the event handlers are assigned at the same time. I have to click twice on
the controls for the events to be raised, the first time nothing...
