How to Simulate Click Event on DG LinkButton?

[cluelis via .NET 247]

How can I programmatically simulate a click event on a datagrid linkbutton?

I change the text of a linkbutton in a datagrid, then need to do some processing as though the user had clicked the linkbutton with the new text.

I thought I could do it like this:

***
// get datagrid item (row)
DataGridItem dgRow = dgTxnHistory.Items[ dgRowIndex ];

// change linkbutton in this datagrid row to show 'view' (it was 'edit')
LinkButton linkButton =
( ( Linkbutton ) dgRow.Cells[ 9 ].Controls[ 0 ] );
linkButton.Text = "View";

// 'click' the above linkbutton
dgTxnHistory_ItemCommand( object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e );
***

But, I have no idea what to put in the 'source' and 'e' parameter positions. I tried using linkButton.Click, too, but that gave me an error.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer!

it's just a method call. if you aren't using source and e, you can pass in
null although that's bad for scalability. Source is whatever fired the
object, so it would be an instance of the datagrid. the event args hold the
arguments so you may want to create an object of type
datagridcommandeventargs and fill it with stuff and pass in the instance.
