Web user control event handling troubles

[chadau]

I have a web user control that contains a Datalist control. I am binding data to the datalist. Everything works fine until I need to trap a button click event that is supposed to handle the Delete command for the Datalist control. I listed the code below in hopes that someone can point out something I am missing here. Thanks.

The first block of code below is in my ASP.NET Web form.

Private Sub btnModify_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnModify.Click
        Me.ESOItemList = LoadControl("ESOItemList.ascx")
        Me.ESOItemList.DataSource = Me.AddESOItem
        Me.ESOItemList.DataBind()
        Me.ESOItemList.EditMode = True

        Me.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(Me.ESOItemList)
    End Sub

    Private Function AddESOItem() As ItemDetailCollection
        Dim objItem As New ItemDetail
        Dim objList As New ItemDetailCollection

        If Not Me.Session.Item("ItemList") Is Nothing Then
            objList = Me.Session.Item("ItemList")
        End If

        With objItem
            .UPNumber = "55555"
            .SerialNumber = ""
            .Quantity = "5"
            .PriceCode = 2
            .PriceCodeDesc = "Price Agreed"
            ' = "2"
            .Price = "$60.00"
            .Description = "Testing"
        End With

        objList.Add(objItem)

        If Not Me.Session.Item("ItemList") Is Nothing Then
            Me.Session.Item("ItemList") = objList
        Else
            Me.Session.Add("ItemList", objList)
        End If

        Return objList
    End Function

The code block below if from my Web user control.

1) Thats a lot of code to expect someone to read for you !
2) what happens if you press the delete button ? (Have you watched in the debugger to see if anything happens ?)

When the control redraws, are you catching the isPostBack, or are you deleting it, then redrawing the existing data ? (Bear with me if this isnt the exact event name, its been a while since Ive played with c#)
