actually, i'm developing dynamic template using asp.net and c#.
i have one main aspx page and inside this page i have an usercontrol page. inside my usercontrol i should get the data from XML file then dynamically create a table inside the listview which each row include an edit and delete buttons at the last column.
i have create the table inside the ItemDataBound function as you can sea below:

protected void lv_Uc_Module_ItemDataBound(object sender, ListViewItemEventArgs e)
{  
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListViewItemType.DataItem && hid_SaveClicked.Value != "1")
    {
        XmlDocument xDocRead = new XmlDocument();
        xDocRead.Load(Server.MapPath("ModuleTemp.xml"));
        string xModuleName = hid_ChooseModule.Value;
        XmlNode xColCounter;
        TableRow tr_DataBound = new TableRow();
        TableRow tr_Lv_Header = new TableRow();

        if (!"".Equals(hid_ChooseModule.Value))
        {
            xColCounter = xDocRead.SelectSingleNode("ModuleTemp/" + xModuleName + "/List");
        }
        else
        {
            xModuleName = xDocRead.SelectSingleNode("ModuleTemp").FirstChild.Name;
            xColCounter = xDocRead.SelectSingleNode("ModuleTemp/" + xModuleName + "/List");
        }
        int pkCounter = 0, nonPkCounter = 0, colCount = xColCounter.ChildNodes.Count;
        string[] primaryKey = new string[30];
        string[] nonPrimaryKey = new string[colCount + 1];

        for (int i = 1; i <= colCount; i++)
        {
            if (xDocRead.SelectSingleNode("ModuleTemp/" + xModuleName + "/Edit/TableColumn" + i).Attributes.GetNamedItem("IsPrimaryKey").Value == "Y")
            {
                primaryKey[pkCounter] = xDocRead.SelectSingleNode("ModuleTemp/" + xModuleName + "/Edit/TableColumn" + i).Attributes.GetNamedItem("Name").Value;
                pkCounter++;
            }
            else
            {
                nonPrimaryKey[nonPkCounter] = xDocRead.SelectSingleNode("ModuleTemp/" + xModuleName + "/Edit/TableColumn" + i).Attributes.GetNamedItem("Name").Value;
                nonPkCounter++;
            }
        }

        System.Data.DataRowView rowView = e.Item.DataItem as System.Data.DataRowView;

        for (int i = 0; i < pkCounter + nonPkCounter; i++)
        { 
            dataBoundTemp[rowCounter, i] = rowView[i].ToString();
        }
        rowCounter++;

        TableCell tc_Lv_Header = new TableCell();
        if (!"".Equals(hid_ChooseModule.Value))
        {
            if (tempHeader == 0)
            {
                tempHeader++;
                for (int i = 1; i <= pkCounter + nonPkCounter; i++)
                {
                    tc_Lv_Header = new TableCell();
                    Label lb = new Label();

                    if (i <= pkCounter)
                    {
                        lb.Text = primaryKey[i - 1];
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        lb.Text = nonPrimaryKey[i - pkCounter - 1];
                    }

                    lb.ID = "lb" + i + "_Table_IphContainer";

        table_Lv_ItemTemplate.Rows.Add(tr_DataBound);
        //"lb_ItemTemp" + i + "_" + e.Item.DataItemIndex;     "lb_ItemTemp" + rowCounter + "_" + e.Item.DataItemIndex
    }
}


when the user click on the edit button it has to change the labels of the selected row to textbox. my listview code is as below:

                            </asp:TableRow>
                        </ItemTemplate>


the problem is once the user click on the save button to save the change of the edited item to the database it never execute the ItemUpdating function. i have put below code at my ItemDataBound function to call the ItemUpdating function.

SQL
btn_Update.Command += new CommandEventHandler(lv_Uc_Module_ItemUpdating);
 btn_Update.CommandName = e.Item.DataItemIndex.ToString();


please guide me how to get it done. appreciate your consideration.

Useful Microsoft link is available at: http://forums.asp.net/t/1186195.aspx/1[^]. It talks about why dynamic controls disappear on postback and not raise events.
