[Solved] LinkButton in RadGrid "ExpandCollapse" column causes full postback

[Katie Arnott]

When adding a LinkButton to a GridDataItem in an ajaxified RadGrid, it causes a full postback.  I do not want a full postback. 
This is my code:

private void GridItem_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

            {

                GridDataItem item = (e.Item as GridDataItem);

                 

 

                    //cannot .Clear() expand/collapse item

                    item["ExpandColumn"].Controls[0].Visible = false;

 

                    LinkButton expand = CreateLinkButton();

                    expand.CommandArgument = _expandText;

                    expand.ID = _btnExpand;

                    item["ExpandColumn"].Controls.Add(expand);

                     

                    LinkButton collapse = CreateLinkButton();

                    collapse.CommandArgument = _collapseText;

                    collapse.ID = _btnCollapse;               

                    item["ExpandColumn"].Controls.Add(collapse);

 

                    //hide collapse on load

                    item["ExpandColumn"].Controls[2].Visible = false;

 

                    foreach (Control control in item["ExpandColumn"].Controls)

                    {

                        RadAjaxManager RadAjaxManager1 =                RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent((System.Web.UI.Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler);

                        RadAjaxManager1.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting(control, (sender as RadGrid));

                    }

                }

}

I've even tried the below on RadGrid_PreRender with no luck

private void RadGrid_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            RadAjaxManager RadAjaxManager1 = RadAjaxManager.GetCurrent((System.Web.UI.Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler);
            RadAjaxManager1.AjaxSettings.AddAjaxSetting((Control)sender, (Control)sender);
           RadAjaxManager1.EnableAJAX = true;
        }

hi Katie
are you creating a RadButton - or a Microsoft LinkButton?

I'd create a RadButton as a link button and see about cancelling the Click event

Thank you so much Marianne.

I updated the LinkButton to use RadButton and that fixed the issue.  I still wanted to use the _ItemCommand EventHandler so I didn't want to cancel the OnClick event, but I didn't have to :)
