Link Button creation problem

Burak · Sep 18, 2003

Hello,

I have some issues with creating link buttons dynamically.

This is my link button creation string:

strUrl = "<asp:LinkButton CommandName='Onet3_Cd'
onfiltered='LinkButton_Command' runat='server' " & _
"Text='" & rdrOnet3("ONET3_TITLE") & "'
CommandArgument='" & rdrOnet3("ONET3_CD") & "' id='lb"
& i & "'></asp:LinkButton>"

Dim ctrl As Control =
Page.ParseControl(strUrl.ToString())
plcCategory.Controls.Add(ctrl) ' place holder object

The link button shows up fine when I run this, but
when I click on the link, it doesn't take me to

Sub LinkButton_Command(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As CommandEventArgs)

Dim strDesc As String
strDesc = sender.text
Response.Write(sender.text)
End Sub

I based my code on

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlr\
fsystemwebuiwebcontrolslinkbuttonclasscommandnametopic.asp

The click works if I hard code the link button on the
html page, but if I create it dynamically, the click
does not take me to the above sub.

Do you know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Burak

You might try something like this. An alternative is to take out the
withevents and the comment out the handler section and then put in the lines
I have commented out.

<%@ Page Language="vb" Strict=True %>
<html>
<script language="vb" runat="server">
Protected Dim Withevents ctrl as New linkbutton
Sub Page_Load(sender as object, e as EventArgs)
'Dim ctrl as new linkbutton 'add this if withevents line taken out
ctrl.id="link1"
ctrl.text = "link create"
ctrl.commandargument = "myargument"
ctrl.commandname = "mycommandname"
'addhandler ctrl.click, addressof LinkButton_Command 'add this if
withevents line taken out
plcCategory.Controls.Add(ctrl)
end sub

Sub LinkButton_Command(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) handles
ctrl.click 'comment after handers if withevents is removed
Dim strDesc As String
strDesc = directcast(sender,linkbutton).text
Response.Write(strDesc & "<br>")
Response.Write(directcast(sender,linkbutton).commandname & "<br>")
Response.write(directCast(sender,linkbutton).commandargument & "<br>")

End Sub

</script>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp

laceHolder id="plcCategory"
runat="Server"/>

</form>

</html>

You could use a for... next loop. But if you can , might opt to bind a
datatable or dataview to a datalist template. but I don't know exactly what
you are doing.
Something like this would be in your template page. In you codebehind you
would bind the datalist to your data.

<ASP

ataList id="Designers" showheader="false" showfooter="false"
repeatcolumns="1" repeatdirection="horizontal" borderwidth="0"
runat="server">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton
Cssclass="designers"
CommandArgument=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"DesignerID") %>
CausesValidation="false"
OnClick="designer_click"
text=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DesignerName")
%>
runat="server">

</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</ASP

ataList>
