How to change text on a link button dynamically

ASP.NET, C#
I have a link button in a repeater:
<th class="auto-style7">
<br /><br />
<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkreq_policy" runat="server" Text="Policy No" ForeColor="gray" OnClick="lnkreq_policy_click" >

</asp:LinkButton>
</th>
to sort by this column, code behind:
protected void lnkreq_policy_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ls_sort = "policy";

f_sorting(ls_sort);

}
how to change a link button text to: "asc Policy_no"

If you want ro change text button you can put this small C# code:

lnkreq_policy.Text = "asc Policy_no";

Open in new window

I tried this way, but this link button in a header of repeater and this did not compiled

Is there some errors after compilation? Can you post it here?
Also try to remove

'EnableViewState = "False"

Open in new window

This is not gridview, this is repeater, and error "The name 'lnkreq_policy' does not exist in the current context"

Ok, it this case try this code:

protected void lnkreq_policy_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    LinkButton Yourbutton = sender as LinkButton;
    Yourbutton .Text = "asc Policy_no";
}

Open in new window
