Is there a particular reason why you need to use a LinkButton and not a control such as the HyperLink?

the problem is this a hyperlink will open the mailto: but i need to update the table when the hyperlink is clicked (no onclick with hyperlink)... so i figured i would use the linkbutton but have now found that there is no navigation with a link button except with using javascript (this is where i get stuck)

In that case, you can use something like:

LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location.href='mailto:name@domain.net'")
