I’m sure that almost everyone programming in .net has ran into similar issues with the dynamic creation of buttons..

Example scenario..

I have a gridview and in one of the gridview fields I have a button. Normally in .net using visual studio you can easily grab the click event of the button, however since these buttons are dynamically created they’re not as easy to grab. I was curious to what the best method for grabbing the button’s click event would be.

I understand its possible using dopostback; however, I’m not sure how to implement it nor have I tried because I have also read dopostback method is not a very good one to use. Why is that?

  1. Sadly, the answer was much simpler than I ever thought..

    I didn’t realize that the ItemCommand event was usable for buttons created in a TemplateField.

    All I really had to do was..

    Private Sub GridView1_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewCommandEventArgs) Handles DetailsView1.ItemCommand     If e.CommandName = 'myButton' Then         //'myButton press event logic here     End If End Sub

    Thanks for your help guys.. I really appreciate it. Your answers will be helpful in the future I’m sure.
