LinkButton Event Not Firing

[Gorkem]

Hello,

I have a page that contains a DataList and several nested Repeaters and an XMLDataSource. Outside of the nested Repeaters, I have a linkbutton associated with the DataList with a CommandName and CommandArgument.

The problem is, when I click on the linkbutton, the first event to fire is the DataList_OnItemCreated and the linkbutton event(Link_OnCommand) or the DataList event (DataList_Command) never triggers.

The page also has a MasterPageFile.

My Linkbutton code is:

<asp:LinkButton runat=server OnCommand="Link_OnCommand" CommandName="ShowMoreTimes" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("AvailFareID") %>' ID="MoreTimes" Text="More Times"></asp:LinkButton>

The basic layout of the page is:

<DATALIST>
     <ITEMTEMPATE>
          [b] <LINKBUTTON> [/b] <-- ** Event doesn't fire
          <XMLDATASOURCE>
          <REPEATER>
              <ITEMTEMPLATE>
                   <REPEATER>
                      <ITEMTEMPLATE>.....</ITEMTEMPLATE>
                   </REPEATER>
              </ITEMTEMPLATE>
          </REPEATER>
     </ITEMTEMPLATE>
</DATALIST>

If anyone can shed some light on this, I would be greatful!

Cheers,

G.

UPDATE...

Ok.. so I've commented out most of the code to leave myself with JUST the one datalist (the main one). When I click on the linkbutton, it still fires the DataList_ItemCreated event first...

Here is the list of events that is fired in order:

1. DataList_ItemCreated
2. IsPostBack
3. LinkButton_OnClick
4. DataList_OnCommand

It seems to build the DataList before it does anything.. I need to make adjustments on how it builds the datalist result based on the link that is clicked.. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,

G.

Problem solved!

It was as simple as setting EnableViewState="False"

Gorkem - glad you nailed it. I was too busy yesterday to take a close look. This is a good point to bring up - remember, for example with DataGrids/GridViews - that a small dataset returning with the Grid's viewstate = true can create a large viewstate value, etc.
