Hi,

In click event of your link button you have first argument as object(Sender). You need to type cast that object into LinkButton and then you can get text of that button.

That will work for you
Thanks

You can subscribe to DataList_ItemCommand event.

C#

protected void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
{
    LinkButton lb = source as LinkButton;
    if(lb != null) 
    {
        string clickedText = lb.Text;
    }
}

try this

C#

protected void Data_Walking_List_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
  {

          LinkButton mylink = (LinkButton)e.Item.FindControl("Link_ViewDetials");
          //Label city = (Label)e.Item.FindControl("City");
          //Response.Cookies["city"].Value = city.Text;
