ListView OnItemCommand

[Guy]

Hello, 
  I need to change buttons text when user clicks it, the button is in a listview
everything seems to be fine but the fact that its not showing on screen
this is part of  my code

<asp:ListView ID="TeachersList" runat="server"  OnItemCommand="ShowNumber_ItemCommand">

.
.
.

 

<ItemTemplate >

.
.
.

<asp:LinkButton ID="ShowNumberLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="ShowNumber" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("UserID") %>' Text=" "></asp:LinkButton>
.
.
.

 

 

Protected Sub ShowNumber_ItemCommand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ListViewCommandEventArgs)

 

 

For Each row In TeachersList.Items

          For Each control In row.Controls

 

                if control.CommandArgument = UserID Then

                    control.Text = "bla bla"
.
.
.


Please help, thanks

Hi Guy,

With this code you are changing the text correctly. However if the command was some that cause rebind, the ListView will bind again. And when it binds new controls will be created inside it's item templates. And the new controls will have the original text defined in the markup.

So you need to handle the ItemCreated or ItemDataBound events of the ListView, and change the text of the buttons there. You could still handle the ItemCommand to get the argument, but instead of setting the new text to the buttons, save it into an global variable and later on ItemCreated set the text to the newly created button.

Hi,
Thanks for you quick replay.
It was the datapager that reloaded the data and cleared the changes.
Thank you and have a nice day.
