Question about OnClientClick for asp:LinkButton...

I have the code:

Code Behind .vb file:

Dim lbAsNew LinkButton

lb.Text = dt.Rows(j).Item(

0)

lb.ID =

"cat" +CType(dt.Rows(j).Item(1),String)

lb.CssClass =

"lbH1"

lb.OnClientClick =

"lb_Click('" +CType(dt.Rows(j).Item(1),String) +"')"

tc.Controls.Add(lb)

Client Side .aspx file:

<scriptlanguage="javascript"type="text/javascript">function lb_Click(e){

alert(e);

}

</script>

How can I tie this code in to talk to a Page Method or WebService? Any good simple links/tutorials? I tried the Ajax video page but apparently the sound drops out half way through the video? And my books refer to 'Atlas' instead of 'Ajax 1 or 2'.

You can add a onclick event handler like this:

AddHandler lb.OnClick, AddressOf lb_Click

And define a event handler method as below:

Protected Sub lb_Click(sender as object, E as EventArgs)

End Sub

If want to execute it asynchronously, you can decorate the above method with WebMethod attribute. Like this:

<WebMethod()> Protected Sub lb_Click(sender as object, E as EventArgs)

End Sub
