dynamic loaded datalist ascx event delegate not firing in parent f

[=?Utf-8?B?Y2luZHk=?=]

I have am dynamically loading a web user control based on the click of a tab
strip
I load the default control for the first tab in the page load event after
checking page is not postback. After that the controls are loaded/unloaded
based on the SelectionChange d event for the tab strip and again in Page load
because with a dynamic load viewstate has to be reloaded. I have a datalist
in the user control and I am trying to create the delegate so the parent can
handle the click of the edit button in the user control. Honestly I am not
very good at event delegation the code complies but I never get the command
to execute on the parent

in the child control site.ascx I set up the datalist public event with
code below

public partial class Site : System.Web.UI.U serControl
{
public delegate void myItemCommand(o bject source,
DataListCommand EventArgs e);
public event myItemCommand dlSiteItemComma nd;

override protected void OnInit(EventArg s e)
{
InitializeCompo nent();
base.OnInit(e);
}
private void InitializeCompo nent()
{ }
protected void dlSite_ItemComm and(object source,
DataListCommand EventArgs e)
{
if (dlSiteItemComm and != null)
dlSiteItemComma nd(source, e);
}

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{ //get the data and fill the datalist }

in the parent (Detail) I try to bind to the event in the Site.ascx When
the page loads in the parent the procedure LoadUserControl ()
is called and in it after I dynamically load the correct control, I caste
the generic control to an instance of Site so I can see the public event I
created. Thats where I have got it wrong I am SOOOOO confused. The binding
does not work when I click the edit button in the child datalist I never
break into the event that is bound on the parent Below is parent code.
Please I not this is too long an explanation but I have been trying and
reading a long time.
