I have table with 20 to 30 rows and 3 columns. I would like to add fourth column with buttons or something in the cell that I can click on it. And onClick event I need to get info in which row has happened this click.

Table is generated programmatically on the fly.

Can this be done and I beg for some examples.

    If it is a HTMLtable generated in code behind,

    assuming this is how your code looks like,

    HtmlButton b = new HtmlButton();
b.ClientID = "Button_" + i;
b.Attributes.Add("onClick", "your function(this)");

    use the suffix part from the parameter in the method to check which butto has been click.
    Hope this helps!!
    Edit:
    You may still go with the above logic. In the click event of the button ( which appears to be common for all the buttons), you ca use the sender object and get the ID and know which button has been clicked as follows:

    protected void KillButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
    string ID = ((Button)sender).ID;
}

    and you may attach the event handler in this fashion:

    b.Click += new EventHandler(KillButton_Click);
