Dynamically setting LinkButton within Listview

[Adam]

I have a RadListView and within the listview I have an asp.net linkbutton. I want to dynamically set the linkbutton's PostBackUrl. I can achieve this if I find the linkbutton control in the listview's ItemDataBound event. But by doing this when I end up clicking on the linkbutton the listview ItemCommand event is not being fired. I need the itemCommand even to be fired so I can take the datakeyvalue of the item clicked and set it into a session variable to pass to teh postbackurl page of the link button.

<telerik:RadListView ID="lstVwWebpageList" runat="server" EnableViewState="true" ItemPlaceholderID="webpageContainer" AllowPaging="true" DataKeyNames="id" Skin="WebBlue" OnItemDataBound="lstVwWebpageList_ItemDataBound" OnPageIndexChanged="lstVwWebpageList_PageChange" Width="607px" OnItemCommand="lstVwWebpageList_ItemCommand">

            </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>

Hi Adam,

The Item command event is not fired because you are making a redirect to a different page. Just get the data key value in the ItemDataBound event and set it as a query string parameter in the url of the page which the list view is redirecting to.

Hope it helps.

All the best, Tsvetoslav
