Question

I’ve been fighting this problem for many hours now and could really use some help 🙂

This is the grid

<asp:GridView ID="annonceView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataKeyNames="Id" DataSourceID="dataSourceAnnoncer">
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="Productname" HeaderText="Productname" />            

        <asp:buttonfield buttontype="Link" commandname="Delete" text="Delete"/>

        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Administration">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBtnDelete" runat="server" Text="Delete" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Delete" OnClientClick="return confirm('Delete?')" />
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

<asp:LinqDataSource ID="dataSourceAnnoncer" runat="server"        ContextTypeName="Namespcae.TheContext" 
    EnableDelete="True" TableName="Annoncer">
</asp:LinqDataSource>    

Clicking the buttonfield deletes the record just fine. Clicking the LinkButton doesn’t work. I get a postback and the grid is shown as empty and no record is deleted. Seems like an empty databinding.
I have tried to create a custom OnClick, OnCommand event for the LinkButton, but neither are fired. The OnRowCommand isn’t fired either.

I don’t manually DataBind in the codebehind.

The problem wasn’t with Asp.net but with Sitecore (A CMS), the simple solution is described here, http://www.cassidy.dk/blog/sitecore/2009/01/typesthatshouldnotbeexpanded.html.

I feel like Sitecore has stolen several hours of my life, well the problem is solved, so I’m happy 🙂
