CommandName?

[Arpan]

Consider the following code which creates a DataList server control
which displays records from a SQL Server database table (the database
code along with other necessary code within the <scripttag aren't
reproduced here):

<form runat="server">
<asp:DataList ID="dlUsers" OnItemCommand="ItemList" DataKeyField="ID"
RepeatLayout="table" RepeatDirection="horizontal" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="linkbut" CommandName="ComName" runat="server"><%#
Container.DataItem("FirstName") %></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>

What is the use of the property "CommandName"? Even if I modify its
attribute "ComName" or even delete that property, it doesn't make any
difference.

Moreover, I am not using the attribute "ComName" anywhere in the entire
code.

Thanks,

Arpan

Thanks, Patrick, for the link.

You are very much correct.......I should have gone through MSDN before
asking questions but the problem is the .NET Framework is such a
gigantic subject that searching for something can become quite tedious
:-)

In fact, I have got the entire (372MB!) .NET Framework 2.0 SDK
installed in my machine & to be very honest, I first search it if I get
stuck somewhere & on most occasions, I get confused which compels me to
post my question in this NewsGroup.

Thanks once again,

Arpan
