[Solved] Binding dynamic event handling on server side code

[Viswanathan]

Hi,

I've a <Linkbutton> embedded in RAD Grid control. I want to map the eventhandler dynamically. 

Here is my code. What i'm trying to do here opening a pop-up dialog on clicking the link button, but, unfortunately the event for the control is not biding to the control!

protected void grd_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.WebControls.GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
                {
                    GridDataItem grdItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

                    LinkButton lnk1 = e.Item.FindControl("link1") as LinkButton;
                    Label lbl1 = e.Item.FindControl("label1") as Label;
                    lnk1.CommandArgument = lbl1.Text;
                    lnk1.Click += new EventHandler(lnk1_Click);
                }
            }
       }

       protected void lnk1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                LinkButton lnkButton = sender as LinkButton;
                string argument = lnkButton.CommandArgument;

              Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(string.Empty.GetType(), "showpopup",
                    "OpenPopupPage('lnkbutton');", true);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                lblErrorMessage.Text = ex.Message;
            }
        }

Let me know what mistake i am doing here

Thanks in advance

Hi Viswanathan,

You need to use ItemCreated instead. ItemDataBound will be raised only during data-binding and if the grid is recreated from ViewState you will not get this event.
