Below is the code which you can write to create Dynmic Link Button in C#
LinkButton hl = new LinkButton ();
hl.Text = "Delete Check";
String D = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Date"].ToString();
// hl.Click += new EventHandler(this.MyButtonHandler);
hl.Command += new CommandEventHandler(this.MyButtonHandler);
hl.CommandArgument = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["ID"].ToString();
hl.ID = "DeleteLink" + i.ToString();
div3.Controls.Add(hl);
div3.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<br/>"));
ViewState["DataSet"] = ds;
}
ViewState["recordsCount"] = ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count.ToString();
}
//Event Handler which executes on Click on the Link Button
void MyButtonHandler(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
string ID = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
//Business Logic Comes Here
}
}
This Code works perfect when you are creating dynamic Link Buttons On page Load.
But In My case I wanted these links to be created on Some Search Button Click .
and When I was clicking on the Link Button I saw that Event Handler code is not executing because you have to add them on Page_Load when you are dynamically creating them , but here I got the Hack of it .
You recreate the Same Hyperlink in PageLoad also on post back with same "ID"(Link Button ID)
So then I wrote below code on the page load , and it worked well.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
if (ViewState["recordsCount"] != null)
{
for (int i = 0; i < int.Parse(ViewState["recordsCount"].ToString()); i++)
{
LinkButton hl = new LinkButton();
hl.ID = "DeleteLink" + i.ToString();
div3.Controls.Add(hl);
hl.Command += new CommandEventHandler(this.MyButtonHandler);
DataSet ds1 = (DataSet)ViewState["DataSet"];
hl.CommandArgument = ds1.Tables[0].Rows[i]["ID"].ToString();
}
}
}
The reason of using ViewState here is my command argument for each link was a cell of a DataSet which I was binding from Data Base . So I saved that DataSet in the view State to make it accessible on PostBack in Page Load
