exessive.

You have to give address a function to the onclick event during
datagrid Item created.

something like this
If EventArgs.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Header Then
Dim btn As Button =
CType(EventArgs.Item.Cells(2).FindControl("Button1), Button)
AddHandler btn.Click, AddressOf buttonClickEvent

End If

So you will create your own Private sub buttonClickEvent and do what
you need to in there.

So you shouldn't have a buttoncolumn. You should have a Template column
and add a normal button to the HeaderTemplate soemthing like this.

<aspataGrid id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 104; LEFT: 480px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 232px" runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Blah" HeaderText="Blah"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Blah2" HeaderText="Blah
2"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Button">
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
</HeaderTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
