I have a GridView control bound to an AccessDataSource. After selecting a row I'm creating a table inside the selected row. I'm adding Buttons to this table. Their Click event never gets fired. I read about recreating the buttons and stuff, but still no luck solving the issue. Thanks for help!

Hey,

Try assigning a command name, and attach to the RowCommand event of the grid to listen for the click of the button, as an alternative to tapping into the click event.

I assigned a commandName to the submit_button and added a RowCommandEventHandler to the GridView. Clicking the button results in a simple postback. I also tried adding a asp:buttonfield to the .aspx code. The buttonfield was correctly firing the event. Clicking my old buttons then, resolved in raising the RowCommand event with an incorrect commandname - the buttonfield's commandname.

Wow, OK, that is odd... try also setting UseSubmitBehavior to false on the button, so it will use the __doPostBack method approach to posting back...
Brian
I did submit_button.CommandName = "SUBMIT"; submit_button.UseSubmitBehavior = false; and the "void SurveyGridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)" still dosn't get fired...
