I am attempting to add asp linkbutton controls to a DNN module I am creating.  The linkbutton appears as simple text with no 'button' functionality.  I added an asp linkbutton control in the designer and it converted to

<a id="dnn_ctr375_ViewOIG_AppMgr_LinkButton1" href=" __doPostBack('dnn$ctr375$ViewOIG_AppMgr$LinkButton1','')">LinkButton</a>

from

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" OnCommand="cmdLink">LinkButton  </asp:LinkButton>

When I view the source code for the page, the asp:linkbutton I added in the code (Page_Load) is properly formatted and should work.  Obviously there is something that I am missing and am unfamiliar with as it relates to DNN.  What do I need to do to add linkbuttons from within the Page_Load?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey Rick,
Here's the code I use in the Repository module to create a LinkButton in the code behind and add it to a placeholder control on my user control

Dim lbBtn As New LinkButton lbBtn.ID = "lbMyID" lbBtn.CommandName = "MyCommandName" lbBtn.CommandArgument = "MyCommandArgument" lbBtn.Text = "My Button Text" lbBtn.CssClass = "MyButtonClass" ctlPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(lbBtn) AddHandler lbBtn.Click, AddressOf Me.LinkButtonHandler

Hopefully that will help y ou out. Obviously, all of the value names would be changed for your module. The key is to have a LinkButtonHandler function defined in your module to catch and process link button commands, then add a handler to your dynamic link button and hook it up to your handler function.

Ahhh ... I changed the handler from a Command handler to a Click handler and everything is working as I want it to now. 

Thank you very, very much for the help!
