SP Gridview link button column not working

Question

Hi

I have one sharepoint custom page application which is rendering from a user control. In the user control page, i had used SPGridview for displaying data. My first column is Title Column (link button column), when the user click on the link, then one popup window will open with corresponding data. But the problem is the link button is not working properly. But this application is working as fine in asp.net application.

My code is shown below..

 <asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="UpdatePanel2">
                                            <ContentTemplate>

                this.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<script>alert('hi');</script>"));

                if (Session["CurrentUser"] != null)
                {
                    ApplicationForm objApplication = new ApplicationForm();
                    objApplication.markRead(Convert.ToInt32(Session["AppId"].ToString()), Session["CurrentUser"].ToString());

                }
                bindFolderData();
            }

If i click on the link button, there will be only post back occuring. but not the popup window open.. Please help me for resolving this problem. thanks in advance..

Have you checked to see if you're receiving a javascript error on the click?

Have you tried setting UpdatePanel2's UpdateMode="Conditional" and then adding Triggers? (button click)

Like this sample:

    </ContentTemplate>
    <Triggers>
        <asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="lbtnSubject" EventName="Click" />
    </Triggers>
