Hi all!

I'm sorting a datagrid but only using one column. This column's
header has several linkbuttons.

When sortcommand is called I'm not able to see which of the
linkbuttons has been clicked? I've tried getting this data from
source, but haven't been able to find it.

How can I get the sending linkbutton's ID?

Thanks,
Niclas

Try passing it through the commandname or commandargument properties of
the link button, then use

dim sourceid as string =directcast(commandsource,
linkbutton).commandname

Look here:

Great, thanks! Looks very nice.

Just curious though, is there a way to use the datagrid's sortcommand
together with multiple link buttons?
Because when datagrid generates the function then source is passed
along instead of sender?
