Dynamically add linkbuttons and wire them to same event??

[Linda]

Hi,

How do I dynamically add linkbuttons and wire them to same event? I am able to add linkbuttons but they do not fire the event. Does anybody have a working sample?

Many thanks,

Linda

Hi Linda,

If their events are not firing then I'm guessing you may be adding them too late in the execution lifecycle. At which point are you adding them? Also any short sample code you could provide will greatly help the guessing game.

Linda,

You have to add an event handler to the control that you added
dynamically. For the below example code I created a new ASP.NET
project and placed a PlaceHolder control on the form.

In the Page_Load event place the following code:

'Instance a link button
Dim MyLinkButton As New LinkButton

'Set the text
MyLinkButton.Text = "Click Here for Google"

'Dynamically add to Place Holder
PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(MyLinkButton)

'Add an event handler to button
AddHandler MyLinkButton.Click, AddressOf HandleMyLinkButtonClick
Then create a sub (delagate) to handle the click. It must have the
parameters as in the example. This example redirects to Google.

Sub HandleMyLinkButtonClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com")
End Sub
If you have multiple links pointing to the same Handler you could use
something like the following to determine which link was clicked:

SelectedItemText = CType(sender, LinkButton).Text
Hope that helps.
