Assign ID property of RadToolBarButton programmatically in code behind

[Syed]

Hi,

I would like to dynamically assign the id property of a RadToolBarButton dynamically in my code behind sicnce is is supposedly a readonly property. Is there any workaround to get this done? I really need to assign a fixed id to one of the buttons since it is being reference in my JQuery code using its id.

private void PopulateRadToolBar()
{
            RadToolBarItemCollection rtb = RadToolBar.Items;
            if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(WebPart.RadToolBarValues))
            {
                var properties = WebPart.RadToolBarValues.Split(@";".ToCharArray());
                rtb.Clear();

                foreach (var singleProperty in properties)
                {
                    var itemRow = singleProperty.Split(@",".ToCharArray());
                    button = new RadToolBarButton();
                    button.ID = itemRow[0];    // ERROR HERE SINCE ID IS A READ ONLY PROPERTY
                    button.Text = itemRow[1];
                    button.NavigateUrl = itemRow[2];
                    button.Target = itemRow[3];
                    button.ImageUrl = itemRow[4];
                   rtb.Add(button);
            }
            else
            {
                rtb.Clear();
            }
        }
}
