I am trying to use a button in my Repeating table. The only thing I can get to work is the "LinkButton". The normal "Button" will not work. Maybe because the Link button uses Javascript to post back? I have no idea. Here is the code:

<asp:repeater OnItemCommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand" id=Repeater1 runat="server" DataSource="<%# DataSet11 %>" DataMember="tbl_lmedata_labor">

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button id="Button2" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "labor_id") %>' Text="Delete"></asp:Button>



That does not work. What works, is this:

<asp:LinkButton ID="Linkbutton1" Runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "labor_id") %>'>
Delete Customer
</asp:LinkButton>




Here is the Code Behind:

Protected Sub Repeater1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs )
        Dim hello As Integer = e.CommandArgument
        TextBox1.Text = hello

Can you further describe "does not work"? Do you get an error or is the page rendering but not behaving as expected?

This code:

<asp:repeater OnItemCommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand" id=Repeater1 runat="server" DataSource="<%# DataSet11 %>" DataMember="tbl_lmedata_labor">

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button id="Button2" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "labor_id") %>' Text="Delete"></asp:Button>


Does not work. I click the button, and it does nothing.

Hi, did you find the answer to this behavior?

no :(

Angie, for my case the LinkButton does not work. Im using VS 2003 on XP (professional). The link button make the post-back, but it seems that on the server side the event method is never found.

Wow thats strange. Post to me your vb code behind and I will look at it. Make sure you have your command name & command argument declared in the HTML code. This is what I had and it worked fine:


<asp:LinkButton ID="Linkbutton1" Runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "labor_id") %>'>
Delete Customer
</asp:LinkButton>


Here is the Code Behind:

Protected Sub Repeater1_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs )
        Dim hello As Integer = e.CommandArgument
        TextBox1.Text = hello

I'm modifying a demo example from http://www.dotlucene.net/download/Do...chDemo-1.1.zip

I'm trying to make the paging using a repeater control

by now Im testing the demo inseting a LinkButton in the repeater

<P><asp:repeater id=Repeater1 runat="server" DataSource="<%# Results %>" OnItemCommand="Repeater1_ItemCommand">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <p><a href='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "path") %>' class="link"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title") %></a><br>
                            <span class="sample">
                                <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "sample") %>
                            </span>
                            <br>
                            <span class="path">
                                <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "path") %>
                            </span>
                        </p>
                        <asp:LinkButton id="LinkButton1" runat="server" CommandName="ShowIt" CommandArgument="123" EnableViewState=True Enabled="true"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title") %></asp:LinkButton>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:repeater>
            </P>

on the code behind:

protected void Repeater1_ItemCommand(object source, System.Web.UI.WebControls.RepeaterCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Write("Hola Mundo");
        }
but the program never go to thise method

I found the following link

http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/arc.../07/30924.aspx

but the options presented there dont work

I foun another example on

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...mmandtopic.asp

Note that in this example they have

AutoEventWireup="True" on the page statement

finally i found the folloing note on

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rdcontrols.asp

Note If you call the DataBind method of the parent control (the DataList, Repeater, or DataGrid control), the ItemCommand event is not raised, because the contents of the parent control are reset. Therefore, you generally do not want to call the DataBind method on each round trip (that is, in the page initialization without checking for a post back). For details, see Data Binding Multi-Record Web Server Controls and Data Binding Single-Value Web Server Controls at Design Time.


I wonder if somebody else have the same/similar problem?

I think I found an answer here

In regards to the link, the same thing happens to me with the button. Its like its not posting back or something. But the link button works fine!
