Dynamically Activate Button

[hume.tony]

I am trying to figure out how to dynamically activate a button in the code behind. For example, when LinkButton4 is clicked it activates LinkButton4_Click but when I try to call LinkButton4_Click(); it doesn't work.

protected void LinkButton4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

I figure I need to give it the (object sender, EventArgs e) parameters it's looking for I just don't know what they are.

if your code doesn't use them, you could just pass null. or use a delegate approach where LinkButton4_Click and this code behind method both call the same no arg method.

if the code that your going to put in the click event needs to be called and executed from other parts of your application or code then I would suggest wrapping the code in the ClickEvent in its own method. This way you can call it from any where.

public Click Event(blah, blah){
CallDoSomething();
}

public pageload(.........){
CallDoSomething();
}

public CallDoSomething(){
'Code to execute
}

do this:

LinkButton4_Click(this.LinkButton4, null);
