Implementing a functional link in a Repeater control

Question

I am implementing a Repeater in my web application to display data. I want to add functional action links in a column similar to the built-in functionality in a GridView. Can anybody give me the steps required? I assume I will add a LinkButton control to each row, somehow set the OnClick event handler to point to the same method, and somehow pass in the unique identifier on the row as a parameter.

Thanks!

I'm guessing this is what you want.

    <asp:Repeater ID="rpt" runat="server">
        <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:LinkButton ID="lbtn" runat="server" OnCommand="lbtn_Command" 
            CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "KeyIDColumn") %>' ></asp:LinkButton>
        </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>

Then in your code behind

protected void lbtn_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
    int id = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
}
