DataGrid EditCommandColumn not firing events properly.

Rick

Hello all, I hope all is well with you.

I am having a seriously difficult time with this problem. Allow me to
set
up the problem.

I have a System.Web.UI.Page with the following controls (watch the
layout,
some have child controls):

1. DataGrid (dgContracts) - Lists current contracts.
1.1. ButtonColumn (CommandName SelectContract) - Selects a contract
to
use.
2. Repeater (rptrJobActivities) - Lists all Job Activities for a
Contract/Job when a user selects a contract from

dgContracts. Each RepeaterItem represents a single JobActivity.
2.1. DropDownList (ddlInstallers <asp:DropDownList
ID="ddlInstallerWorkers" DataSource='<%#

InstallerWorkers()%>' DataTextField="FullName"
DataValueField="WorkerId"
Runat="server" />) Lists all available

Installers (people)
2.2. Button (btnAddInstaller <asp:Button CssClass="submit"
ID="btnAddInstaller" Text="Add"

OnClick="btnAddInstaller_Click"

Runat="server" />) Adds the selected installer in ddlInstallers to the
JobActivityInstallers collection.
2.3. DataGrid (dgInstallers <asp:DataGrid
ID="dgJobActivityInstallers"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"

Width="75%" Runat="server">)

Displays the installers that are added to the job activity
(AddHandlers to
EditCommand, CancelCommand and

UpdateCommand in

rptrJobActivities_ItemCreated - NOTE: Originally I had these assigned
in
the <asp:DataGrid

OnEditCommand="dgInstallers_EditCommand"
OnCancelCommand="dgInstallers_CancelCommand"

OnUpdateCommand="dgInstallers_UpdateCommand"/> until this problem came
up)
2.3.1. EditCommandColumn (<asp:EditCommandColumn
ButtonType="LinkButton"
CancelText="Cancel"

EditText="Edit"

UpdateText="Update"/>)


A user will load this page, dgContracts is DataBind only on Not
IsPostback,
select a contract from dgContracts, by

clicking the ButtonCol The page posts, dgContracts_ItemCommand fires -
rpterJobActivities is DataBind, and

rptrJobActivities is populated with all the Job Activities associated
with
the selected contract. Everytime

rptrJobActivities_ItemCreated is fired dgInstallers is DataBind and
AddHandlers are assigned for each EditCommand,

CancelCommand and UpdateCommand (DataBind THEN AddHandlers)

Inside each Job Activity, repeater item, basic data is displayed and
dgInstallers is populated with Installers

working on this Job Activity.

The user is permitted to add new installers by selecting ddlInstallers
and
clicking btnAddInstaller. The page posts

and the newly added installer appears in dgInstallers.
btnAddInstaller_Click is fired and code adds to the

collection of installers.

Everything seems to work just fine up to this point.

Now, when you click the EditCommandColumn 'Edit' Link it calls
dgInstallers_EditCommand, we set the edit index and

then DataBind. All well and good. When we click the EditCommandColumn
"Cancel", the page just posts. No event is

fired. If we instead click the EditCommandColumn "Update" link,
dgInstallers_EditCommand is fired once again.

When we hover the mouse over the Edit link, the actual link is:

javascript:__doPostBack('rptrJobActivities$_ctl0$dgJobActivityInstallers$_ctl2$_ctl0','')

When we hover the mouse over the Cancel link, the actual link is:

javascript:__doPostBack('rptrJobActivities$_ctl0$dgJobActivityInstallers$_ctl2$_ctl1','')

When we hover the mouse over the Update link, the actual link is:
javascript:__doPostBack('rptrJobActivities$_ctl0$dgJobActivityInstallers$_ctl2$_ctl0','')

Notice how the links for both Edit and Update are identical?

Please help me figure why the update calls the edit and the cancel
just
posts...

Thanks in advance.

-Rick

PS.

Here is all the code, there are objects behind the scenes but these
are
tried and true.
