LinkButton added at runtime - and fetch it!

[Fredrik Rodin]

All,

I've been trying to get this question answered before and I got some hints,
but nothing that really fit my needs.

Here's what I'm aiming at:

I create x number of LinkButton at run-time in a UserControl, no probs.

However, when I click on on of them, I want to fetch which one of them that
was clicked and a value which is assigned via lnkbtn.ID (I could also take
the .text attribute, but I prefer the .ID).

Here is my simple sample code:

For a As Integer = 0 To 5

Dim lnkbtn As New LinkButton
lnkbtn.ID = "lnkbtn_" & CType(a, String)
lnkbtn.Text = "Linkbutton " & a

Me.Controls.Add(lnkbtn)

Next

So far so good. Now, how do I write a procedure that fetch the button
clicked? I want to get the text or the ID from that button.

I've been on Google, a number of forums and MSDN but can't find anything
that really explains this.

I'm writing everything in VB. One suggestion I got was to use a DataList,
but that doesn't really work for me.

Please note:
I DON'T add anything in design-time.

All help appreciated!

Thanks,
Fredrik

Instead of this approach, why not set this information as part of the
CommandText. You can then wire-up a Command event to catch this instead of
the Click event.
