I've got a LinkButton set up in the ItemTemplate of a ListView. It displays fine, but it's not doing anything when clicked. It's supposed to be a simple Edit button, but it's driving my crazy. Here's the button:

<asp:LinkButton ID="EditLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />

and here's the code-behind:

Protected Sub MyListView_ItemEditing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewEditEventArgs) Handles MyListView.ItemEditing
    MyListView.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex
    GetListViewData()
End Sub

What might cause the link to do nothing?

Here's the whole list view if that helps:

<asp:ListView ID="MyListView" runat="server" DataKeyNames="my_id">
    <LayoutTemplate>
        <table cellpadding="3">
            <tr class="tableHeader">
                <th>
                    Name
                </th>
                <th>
                </th>
            </tr>
            <asp:PlaceHolder ID="itemPlaceHolder" runat="server" />
        </table>
    </LayoutTemplate>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <tr class="tableRow">
            <td>
                <%#Eval("my_name")%>
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="EditLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />
                |
                <asp:LinkButton ID="DeleteLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" />
            </td>
        </tr>
    </ItemTemplate>
    <EditItemTemplate>
        <tr class="tableRow">
            <td>
                <asp:TextBox ID="NameTextBox" runat="server" Columns="30" />
            </td>
            <td>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="CancelLinkButton" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel" Text="Cancel" />
                |
                <asp:LinkButton ID="DeleteLinkButton2" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete" />
            </td>
        </tr>
    </EditItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

My bad - I had validator elsewhere on the form, so the link appeared to be doing nothing because it was tripping the validation.

you didn't arranged the listview edititemtemplate's textbox which data will it bind

This was a simplified example to illustrate my issue - I wasn't worried about the binding because it wasn't getting that far.
