What doesn't an ItemTemplate child control fire an ItemCommand??

M

Mark Sisson

Could someone explain to me why my first column in my datagrid below
doesn't fire the event while the second column does??? I don't
understand why controls within an item template that have a
CommandName don't go anywhere. What's the point?? Do you have to use
ButtonColumns to fire events???

TIA
