Question

I’m trying to create multiple LinkButtons and wire then to a single event handler on the server. The link buttons render fine but when I check the rendered html theres no __doPostBack;

Here is my code:

LinkButton lb = new LinkButton();                        
lb.ID = "index" + loopIndex;
lb.Text = "click me";
lb.Click += new EventHandler(lb_Click);
lb.RenderControl(writer);

and the event handler ofcourse:

void lb_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

Take into account that this is in PageLoad and inside a loop.

I think the problem is in the lb.RenderControl(writer); and if you use form1.Controls.Add(lb); it will work.

Reason: Since you are Rendering your control as a HTML Writer and HTML is added in the output and no event handler work!!
