Webcontrol Event Handler Not working

[rotomd]

The problem is pretty simple.. I want to create a dynamic LinkButton
and add an event handler. Here's my code:

[vb]
Protected WithEvents oLinkButton as linkbutton
Private Sub populateForm()
dim oRow as tablerow
dim oCell as tablecell
dim oDate as datetime

oCell = new tablecell
oLinkButton = new LinkButton
oLinkButton.text = "Delete"
oLinkButton.id = "lbDel"
AddHandler oLinkButton.Click, New System.EventHandler(AddressOf
delTid)
oCell.Controls.add(oLinkButton)
oRow.cells.add(oCell)
tidTable.rows.add(oRow)
End Sub

Private sub delTid(byVal sender As Object, byVal e As System.EventArgs)
handles oLinkButton.Click
response.write ("DELETE Clicked")
End Sub

[end code]
The page renders fine, no errors. Yet when I click on the Delete link,
it posts back, but never writes hits the delTid sub. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't see the docs using the "handles" keyword when they use
addhandler like that...

I figured out what was happening. The syntex was correct, or at least
workable. (I guess the handles part was not necessary, although it did
not cause any errors)

The issue was where the control was being created and added in my code.
When the page submited, that section of the code where the control was
being created would not get hit and therefor the event handler was
never recreated causing the event sub not run on postback. By putting
that code in the page_load sub, everything worked correctly.
