Link Button in a DataList

[asifmaniar]

Hi I have a list of items in a datalist and for each item i have a linkbutton. When user clicks the link button I am enabling/disabling the item in the database and reloading the datalist to reflect the new status. I am using the Item_Command event to check if the linkbutton was clicked. However i noticed that the command fires even when the page is just reloaded and thus it reverses the status of the last item that is clicked. The code looks like this - Private Sub dlActivity_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListCommandEventArgs) Handles dlActivity.ItemCommand Dim rows As DataSet rows = CType(Me.dlActivity.DataSource, DataSet) If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item OrElse e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Then Dim colID As String colID = CType(rows.Tables(0).Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("ActivityID"), String) 'this line changes the item status t5Activity.ChangeStatus(colID) 'this line calls the method to reload the datalist GetList() End If End Sub Can I handle this in such a way that the ststus is updated only when someone actually clicks on the link button and not when the page is refreshed.
