have to click linkbutton twice for placeholder to refresh

[ItNerd]

I have a placeholder in an aspx page that loads a control (.ascx). The
aspx page's page_load event loads the placeholder and sets its
visibility to false. There is a datagridcommandevent that removes the
placeholder and reloads it.

After the datagridcommandevent is fired, there is a linkbutton that
shows within the placeholder that when clicked, sends info to the ascx's
codebehind via postback. I have to click this linkbutton twice in order
to get the latest info.

I should only have to click once.

Any help is appreciated.
