Set Variable
I have a link that works so I know I'm getting the correct value.
But what I need to be able to do is in the code behind set the node value to a session value and then do a redirect
What is making this difficult for me is that I want to assign these actions to an ASP Button that is inside a repeater.
So...I THINK I need to do a onClick event and point to code behind?
This works for a simple link.
I need to garb that value in code behind and set to a variable.
<a href='z.aspx?id=<%#GetNode

Hey guys...
Do I just type that button code into the code behind?
This button is inside a repeater and isn't showing up on my dropdown in Visual Studio

As we have stated, you just need to add a property to the button that you already have in your repeated, just add the CommandArgument property to the button, and assign to it the value that you want to access (set as your session) in your code behind.
The othercode is the Click event of the button which you will use to actually retrieve and set to your session variable

Yes simply setup the properties in script view as you would want them to be and add the code behind method to the page to handle the post-back event.
Could you please:
- post your repeater code
- give us the value how you would access it in your ASPX page that you wish to pass to the code behind
then we can demonstrate how it would work

Hi apresto
You don't need to use the Click event. oncommand is simpler in the way that you do not have to cast the sender as a button type and you get all of the info from event args ;)

@vbwizardry, thanks, ill remember that one, could come in handy :)
@irbrinster
If you use vbwizardry's suggestion in the second psot of this thread that should solve your problem. You just need to replace your button at the bottom with theone he has provided and add the event to your code behind and it should work fine

Do you need to assign the value of the session just the once, to a value that corresponds to the button that was clicked? If so you can set the commandargument property of a link button and access i like this in your event:
protected void btn_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LinkButton lnk = (LinkButton)sender;
string argument = lnk.CommandArgument;
}
