Hi,



I need to be able to dynamically create a series of buttons at run-time 

(preferrably within a custom ASP.NET server control), and setup an 

eventhandler to respond to any one of these buttons being clicked.  These 

buttons will actually represent diary text entries which have been loaded 

from a database, and clicking on an entry will allow the user to edit it. 



I have been experimenting using the ASP:Literal control, which allows you 

to dynamically alter HTML code from the server side.  But, my problem is 

after I have created a dynamic link (button) to a diary entry eg:



.ASPX file:

<asp:Literal Id="TestLiteral" RunAt="server" />



.cs (code-behind file):

public Literal   TestLiteral    



TestLiteral.Text ="<asp:Button Id='TestEntry1' Text ='12pm Team Meeting' 

Runat='Server' OnClick='HandleEdit'/>"



public void HandleEdit( Object Source, EventArgs E )

{

  /* process edit */

}



that the Click event does not fire as I can't dynamically create a server 

side variable to represent the button.  Can anyone point me in the right 

direction to creating some controls dynamically, which can respond to 

events from the client.  



Many thanks,

Richard.
