Hi

I have a user control, which is added to another user control. The nested user control is built up of a gridview, an image button and a link button. The nested user control is added to the outer control as a collection object based upon the results bound to the gridview.

The problem that I have is that my link button doesn't work. I click on it and the event doesn't fire. Even adding a break point was not reached. As the nested user control is added a number of times, I have set image button to have unique ids and also the link button. Whilst image button works correctly with its java script. The link button needs to fire an event in the code behind, but despite all my efforts, I can't make it work. I am adding the link button to the control dynamically. Below is the relevant code that I am using:

public partial class ucCustomerDetails : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{

protected override void CreateChildControls( )
{
base.CreateChildControls( );

string strUniqueID = lnkShowAllCust.UniqueID;
strUniqueID = strUniqueID.Replace('$','_');
this.lnkShowAllCust.ID = strUniqueID;
this.lnkShowAllCust.Click += new EventHandler(this.lnkShowAllCust_Click);
this.Controls.Add(lnkShowAllCust);
}

protected override void OnInit (EventArgs e)
{
CreateChildControls( );
base.OnInit(e);
}

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
base.EnsureChildControls( );
}

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsPostBack)
{
CreateChildControls( );
}
}

protected void lnkShowAllCust_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.OnCustShowAllClicked(new EventArgs ( ));
}

protected virtual void OnCustShowAllClicked(EventArgs args)
{
if (this.ViewAllClicked != null)
{
this.ViewAllClicked(this, args);
}
}

public event EventHandler ViewAllClicked;

}

I have been stuggling with this problem for the last 3 days and have had no success with it, and I really do need some help.

Can anyone please help me?
