Question

I have a datalist control which some controls(ex: button) are in it. I want to write some code into click event of button which is in the datalist control. But in the code behind page I can’t see the name of controls into datalist. How can I solve this problem?

If you don’t want to add a handler to all the child events, you could instead add your code to the OnItemCommand.

<asp:DataList id='DataList1' runat='server'> <ItemTemplate> <asp:Button ID='btnDoSomething' Runat=server CommandName='DoSomething' CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, 'SomeID') %>'></asp:LinkButton> </ItemTemplate> </asp:DataList>  protected void DataList1_ItemCommand( object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)  {    if (e.CommandName == 'DoSomething')    {      //Do stuff    }  }
