Datagrid wire SelectedIndexChanged event from linkbutton

[Alex]

I have a datagrid with some dynamically generated columns containing
linkButtons. How can I wire these events to fire the
datagrid_SelectedIndexChanged?

When clicking a template column defined in the IDE it works fine, the
event fires. However, anything that I add in code does not fire this
event?

Any idea?

Thanks

I should note that generally speaking, adding controls to a datagrid like you
are doing is not a good idea. Your code is generally much cleaner if you use
template columns. I have not checked this code, but this should work:
lkButton.Click += new EventHandler(DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged);

where lkButton is your Button and DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged is your
datagrid selected index changed method. It is important to note that the
sender object will be a LinkButton and not a DataGrid row or anything like
that.

Hope that helps!

Jason,

Thanks for the reply. I am using a Template column in code to add the
columns. How can I have the button inside my template column fire the
datagrid SelectedIndexChanged?

Thanks
