referring to a datagrid button from Page_Load

[colonelangus]

How can I refer to a linkbutton that's a part of my datagrid from
Page_Load? myButton.property doesn't work.
myDataGrid.Findcontrol("myButton") doesn't work. I'd like to set some
onClick attributes for it.

You'll need to use find control on a DataGridItem (a row) instead of on the
DataGrid since there could be multiple row and therefore multiple button.

Thanks for the great article! My control was in the header, too, so I
ended up using :

btnDelete =
dgParent.Controls(0).Controls(1).FindControl("btnDelete")
Not pretty, but effective.
