Programmatically Assign Events to Control 1

[figler]

I am programmatically creating linkbutton controls, but I don't know how to handle events for these controls. I am using VB.NET... any suggestions?

Check out the AddHandler method.
For example

AddHandler MyButton.Click, AddressOf (MySub)

let me clarify:
i am programmatically creating several linkbuttons on the page. if i use:

sub buttonclick(...) handles mybutton.click
end sub

then the event is only triggered for the last linkbutton that i added (for which the variable 'mybutton' is still handling the linkbutton).

how do i raise the same event for all the buttons????????

thanks. i jumped the gun and replied to my post before i read yours...

addhandler method looks good, but i am having trouble using it. here's what i have - can you tell me what's wrong?:

addhandler(alb.Click,Addressof("btncreateclick&quot)

----
alb is the linkbutton
btncreateclick is the name of the procedure that i want to handle this event

THANKS SO MUCH

Problem solved. MANY thanks, mark.
I don't understand why AddHandler doesn't work like other procedures in vb.net (didn't i learn that parantheses are *required* for arguments in vb.net?), but here it:

AddHandler alb.command, AddressOf btncreateclick

alb is the name of the linkbutton
btncreateclick is the name of the procedure that i am using to handle the event

thanks again1

No worries.
The parantheses thing confuses me as well. If you are not using VS.net, then it does make things more difficult (VS.net corrects or draws your attention to these things as you type and I guess I've become reliant on it). (If you are not using it, then you can get a 60 day trial version, and once you've used it, you won't want to go back to notepad or Web Matrix or whatever)
