OnClick events for dynamic LinkButton

Question

I have a series of Hide/Show LinkButtons dynamically created. Each button corresponds with a GridView. I want to have the OnClick event of the button Hide or Show the GridView. How do I reference the specific corresponding GridView in the HideButtonClick method. I used a counter num to make each LinkButton.ID unique ID="hidebutton" + num.

            LinkButton lbShow = new LinkButton();
            lbShow.ID = "lbShow" + num;
            lbShow.OnClientClick = "HideCourse_btnClick";
            lbShow.CommandArgument = "" + num;

And in the event method I want something to the effect of

protected void HideCourse_btnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    grdvw1.Visible = false
}

where the ID grdwv1 is generated by adding the CommandArgument num to the GridView grdvw

Do you want to achieve this with asp.net (server side)? or client side with javascript or jQuery? Can you also post your HTML produced with your code? — Subliminal Hash, Mar 17 '13 at 22:28
i'm not very familiar with ASP.NET but should event referencing be written as lbShow.OnClientClick += HideCourse_btnClick;? — Mo Patel, Mar 18 '13 at 00:16

Consider to use a Repeater with a LinkButton inside the ItemTemplate. Then use Repeater ItemCommand event to handle LinkButtons click events.

add this line

LinkButton1.CommandName = "cmdnum";

add RowCommand event to your gridview

protected void yourgridview_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "cmdnum")
        {
            this.FindControl("grdwv" + e.CommandArgument).Visible = false;
//i am assuming other gridview is on your .aspx page
        }
    }
