GridView RowCommand is not firing

Hi,
This is the GridView markup and Grid_RowCommand is not firing.
When LinkButton is clicked it has to fire the Grid_RowCommand. But it is not.

Please look into the markup and code and let me know your suggestions.

<asp:GridView ID="grd1" runat="server" SkinID="GridView10RowsSortAndPage" OnRowCommand="Grid_RowCommand"
OnRowDataBound="Grid_RowDataBound">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Number" HeaderText="Number" SortExpression="Number" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Amount">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnAmt" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("AMOUNT")%>'
CommandName="Select"></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Type">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblDesc" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DESCRIPTION")%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Date">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lbldate" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Date")%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Time">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lbltime" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("TIME")%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblname" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Name")%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

protected void Grid_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)

{

GridView grd = (GridView)sender;

try

{

int iRowIndex = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

switch (grd.ID.ToString())

{

case "grd1":

{

LinkButton lnk = (LinkButton)grd1.Rows[iRowIndex].Cells[1].Controls[0];

ViewState["SelectedRow"] = grd1.Rows[iRowIndex].Cells[0].Text.Trim();

txtDate.Text = grd1.Rows[iRowIndex].Cells[3].Text.Trim();

txtAmount.Text = lnk.Text.Trim();

txtType.Text = grdTrans.Rows[iRowIndex].Cells[2].Text.Trim();

break;

}

}

}

catch (Exception ex)

{

string s = ex.Message;

}

finally

{

}

}

Do I need to change anything please.

Thanks

Verify that whether double click of the link button works or not? If so, problem lies with onItemDataBound method. Your code should be like given below.

protected void grdResources_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{

   if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType ==  ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
  {
    lnkSelect.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return true;");
  }
}

Open in new window

I wired up the ItemDataBound event to Grid. But it is not even firing the ItemDataBound event.And Link button click doesn't firing the Grid_RowCommand.
<asp:GridView ID="grd1" runat="server" SkinID="GridView10RowsSortAndPage" OnRowCommand="Grid_RowCommand"
OnRowDataBound="Grid_RowDataBound" onItemDataBound="Grid_ItemDataBound">

protected void Grid_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{

GridView grd = (GridView)sender;
try
{

switch (grd.ID.ToString())
{
case "grd1":
{
if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
{
LinkButton lnkAmt= e.Item.FindControl("btnAmt") as LinkButton;
lnkAmt.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return true;");
}
break;
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string s = ex.Message;
}
finally
{

}
}

Any suggestions please.

Thanks.
