I have an asp:LinkButton control in a datalist that is not firing. When I change the asp:LinkButton to an asp:Button it works 100% and the event fires. The attached code has both button's in the datalist. When clicking on the Button the event fires, when you click a LinkButton the click event is not fired. Changing the ViewState to true or false has no effect. I am stumped.
