Help with dynamic controls in datagrid?

[Lbob]

Hi

I want to add 2 buttons dynamically in the datagrid itemdatabound. I'm using the following code.

Private Sub dgData_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgData.ItemDataBound
If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.SelectedItem Then

Dim i As Int16, x As Int16
For i = 0 To e.Item.Cells.Count - 1

btn.Text = "Cancel Visit"

btn.CommandName = "Cancel_click"

btn.EnableViewState = True

Next

My question is where & how do I then get the button to fire?

Cheers

Lbob

As they are dynamic controls, they will have to be created on every load of the page. You will also need to add the button to a parent control and associate an event handler with it e.g.
