Question

I am implementing a Repeater in my web application to display data. I want to add functional action links in a column similar to the built-in functionality in a GridView. Can anybody give me the steps required? I assume I will add a LinkButton control to each row, somehow set the OnClick event handler to point to the same method, and somehow pass in the unique identifier on the row as a parameter.

Thanks!

I’m guessing this is what you want.

    <asp:Repeater ID='rpt' runat='server'>         <ItemTemplate>             <asp:LinkButton ID='lbtn' runat='server' OnCommand='lbtn_Command'              CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'KeyIDColumn') %>' ></asp:LinkButton>         </ItemTemplate>     </asp:Repeater> 

Then in your code behind

protected void lbtn_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) {     int id = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); }
