I have a ajaxtabcontainer control in my project which contains a datalist and in datalist i have set the names as link button. The datalist that i am binding to a source is containing Names and age. Now i want to use the age as selected value like we use in dropdownlist selected value? what i want is on clicking the name link button i get its value inside a label? how to do it? what i have done is as follows: in Default aspx:

<ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">
    </ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager>
    <ajaxToolkit:TabContainer ID="TabContainer1" runat="server" ActiveTabIndex="1">
        <ajaxToolkit:TabPanel runat="server" HeaderText="TabPanel1" ID="TabPanel1">
            <HeaderTemplate>
               Names
            </HeaderTemplate>
         <ContentTemplate>
        <asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" RepeatDirection="Horizontal" RepeatColumns="5" ForeColor="Red"
            RepeatLayout="Table" >

              <ItemTemplate>
              <asp:LinkButton Text = '<%#Eval("names")%>' ID="lnkpro" runat="server" ForeColor="Red" OnClick="btn_Click"></asp:LinkButton>
              </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:DataList>

        </ContentTemplate>

    </ajaxToolkit:TabContainer>

in cs code:

protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        LinkButton myButton = sender as LinkButton;
        if (myButton != null)
        {
            Label1.Text = myButton.Text;
        }

    }
    protected void datalist1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        int i;
        int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.Item.ItemIndex);
        LinkButton lnkid = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("lnkpro");
        Label1.Text = lnkid.Text;
        i = Convert.ToInt32(lnkid.Text);
    }

but they are not working. the btn_click is working but giving only name not its id. the second datalist_itemcommand is not working? Thank you.
