EventHandler is not working for dynamic control

Question

I have referred Error with the event handlers of dynamic linkbutton . It says to add event handlers in Page_Init or Page_Load. I tired following code.

Answer 1

It is mandatory to register all the required dynamic controls’ event handlers in the Page_Load/ Page_Init itself. One working example can be seen at Dynamic Control’s Event Handler’s Working
