I hope some buddy have a simple solution for do this task.

Unfortunately WebForms makes this unnecessarily difficult. The actual click event of the button isn't available, you'll need to use the `ItemCommand` event of the `ListView` and check which button send the command. A Google search for `asp.net linkbutton listview" finds a lot. — David, Jul 16 '13 at 18:06
Could you please google first before asking a question in SO? There are hundreds of examples in google if not thousands. http://weblogs.asp.net/jeffwids/archive/2009/12/08/handle-the-button-click-event-from-an-asp-net-listview-control.aspx — Win, Jul 16 '13 at 18:06

ASPX:

<asp:ListView runat="server">
        <LayoutTemplate>
            <table>
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th>ID</th>
                        <th>Foo</th>
                        <th>Bar</th>
                        <th>&nbsp;</th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>
                    <asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceHolder" runat="server" />
                </tbody>
            </table>
        </LayoutTemplate>
        <ItemTemplate>
            <tr>
                <td><%# Eval("ID") %></td>
                <td><%# Eval("Foo") %></td>
                <td><%# Eval("Bar") %></td>
                <td><asp:LinkButton Text="Some Text" ID="lkbUniqueAction" OnClick="lkbUniqueAction_Click" runat="server" /></td>
                <td><asp:LinkButton Text="Some Other Text" ID="lkbCommandAction" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ID") %>' OnCommand="lkbCommandAction_Command" runat="server" /></td>
            </tr>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:ListView>

C#

        protected void lkbUniqueAction_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        {
            /*TODO*/
        }

        protected void lkbCommandAction_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) 
        {
            if (e.CommandArgument == null)
            {
                /*TODO*/
            }
            else 
            {
                /*TODO*/
            }
        }

Here is an example:

Markup:

<asp:GridView ID="gridMembersList" AutoGenerateColumns="False" GridLines="None" 
        runat="server" onrowcommand="gridMembersList_RowCommand">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="User Name">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Literal ID="ltrlName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>'>    </asp:Literal>
                <asp:Literal ID="ltrlSlno" runat="server" Visible="False" Text='<%# Eval("Id") %>'></asp:Literal>
            </ItemTemplate>
         </asp:TemplateField>
         <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="View More">
             <ItemTemplate>
                  <asp:Button ID="btnViewmore" CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>" CommandName="More" runat="server" Text="View More" />
             </ItemTemplate>
         </asp:TemplateField> 
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Code-behind:

protected void gridMembersList_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "More")
    {
        int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
        Literal ltrlslno = (Literal)gridMembersList.Rows[index].FindControl("ltrlSlno");
        Literal ltrlName = (Literal)gridMembersList.Rows[index].FindControl("ltrlName");
        ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), 
        "Message", "alert('" + ltrlName.Text+ "');", true);
    }
}

Thank you brother. I wasted a lot of time checking (With Response.write()) if Argument is sending without success. After ready you Answer. your post make me remember that we can use javascript to check it. Everything was ok in my code but Response.write was sending me an empty string. after using this javascript code but with ListView and the answer of @Markus Fantone, my live change !!!! I upvoted you just for this javascript code ! — Tchaps, Jun 08 '14 at 07:12
