Question

I would like to generate the Link Button as below in code behind.

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkCustomize" OnClientClick="showDialog('editPerson')" Text="Customize"  CommandName="Customize"  CommandArgument='<%#Eval("type") + ";" + Eval("facility") + ";" + Eval("timestamp")%>runat="server"></asp:LinkButton>

This is what I have so far but failed to retrieve value from arguements. Appreciate for any reply.

LinkButton link = new LinkButton();
link.Text = "Customize";
link.ID = "lnkCustomize";
double timestamp = ConvertToUnixTimestamp(leftstartTime1);
link.CommandArgument = Eval("type") + "," + Eval("facility") + "," + Eval("timestamp");
link.Command += new CommandEventHandler(DynamicClick);
link.OnClientClick = "showDialog('editPerson')";

Answer 1

1. Fixed by having proper defined format

link.CommandArgument = "first_parameter_value_goes_here" + "," + "second_parameter_value_goes_here" + "," + "third_parameter_value_goes_here";

2. Fixed by extracting all the values of arguements as below

public void DynamicClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var editLink = ((LinkButton)sender);
        string info = editLink.CommandArgument;
        string[] arg = new string[2];
        char[] splitter = { ',' };
        arg = info.Split(splitter);
        var var1 = arg[0];
        var var2 = arg[1];
        var var3 = arg[2];
    }
