LinkButton behaviour

[Erik Cruz]

Hi.

By an accident, I found a strange behaviour from Linkbuttons I could not
understand. I put a Linkbutton inside a Repeater. For this Linkbutton I
created an onClick event, this way:

<asp:linkbutton id="lnkUpdate" onClick="RunUpdate"></asp:linkbutton>

The RunUpdate routine is in my code-behind file. When I click the Linkbutton
it runs the code on the server. Shouldn't it run a client script routine? I
noticed that a Linkbutton does not show a onServerClick event, so, onClick
will run on both server and client sides?

TIA,
Erik Cruz

Erik,

Try giving your Linkbutton a command name then if it is in your repeater is should fire this event. For client code to run you can use the Attrubites Property of the Link Button to add the JavaScript or whatever client script. I don't know about doing both. You may have to disable the autopostback on that control. You'll have to test it.

LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "DoSomethingJava;")


Private Sub Repeater1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs) Handles Repeater1.ItemCommand

If e.CommandName = "GO" Then

'Go do something, do it now, do it now!

End If

End Sub
