onCommand event (linkButton)

[link9]

Hello all --

I'm missing something painfully obvious here, I'm sure, but I'm trying to get a simple command event handler to fire when a link button is clicked. This should not be so painful.

The following is my linkbutton declaration in the aspx file:

<asp:LinkButton id=&quot;lnkAccount&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; CommandName=&quot;sort&quot;
CommandArgument=&quot;account&quot; OnCommand=handleSorting>Account</asp:LinkButton>


Ok. I have then declared the respective event handler for the command in the codebehind:

Protected Sub handleSorting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CommandEventArgs)
bindList(e.CommandArgument)
End Sub

What am I missing here, guys/gals? The event handler is not firing, and I'm about to lose my head over here.



Thanks,
paul

Are you sure the input arguments of your sub are correct?
check out if there is a LinkCommandEventArgs object. I have used the same thing for a imagebutton and the arguments change from the normal button.
Another thing, try keeping the CommandArgument and adding the OnClick=&quot;handleSorting&quot; and check if it passes the arguments correctly...

Well, I took a deep breath, deleted the file, and started all over, this time using a repeater instead of a datalist.

I took baby steps, testing functionality at every checkpoint, until the entire &quot;grid&quot; was re-built. To be honest, I don't know what the problem was. Obviously, I had missed something, though.

I was about **THIS** close to just writing this in ASP classic yesterday. I just have to keep telling myself:

This IS better
This IS better
This IS better
You WILL learn it
You WILL learn it
You WILL learn it
