The "asp:LinkButton" tags for a LinkButton are a design-time HTML element for an ASP.NET page, and you cannot emit those tags into the HTML page and have them show up correctly; they are pre-processed by ASP.NET into the correct combination of JavaScript & HTML that will interact with the server during a post back. You can, however, dynamically add a new LinkButton to the controls collection of a container and that will render correctly.

What is a TETRAPAK.ReportClass and why do you pass it myPlaceHolder as a method parameter? What does its documentation say about the allowable parameters and how those interact with the page?

OK, here's your code:

Public Class HKFilmReport
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Public WithEvents myPlaceHolder As System.Web.UI.WebControls.PlaceHolder
Public WithEvents myLinkBtn As System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton
' region omitted

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)Handles MyBase.Load
If Not IsPostBack Then
If Request.QueryString("action") = "sort" Then
FillDataSet(1)
Else
FillDataSet()
End If
lblDate.Text = "Date : " & Date.Now
lblBy.Text = "Generated by : " & Session.Item("userName")
End If
End Sub

Private Sub FillDataSet(Optional ByVal sort As Integer = -1)
Dim sqlStr As String
Dim dataStr As String
Dim bUsed As Boolean
Dim objReport As New TETRAPAK.ReportClass
Dim arrFilter As New ArrayList
arrFilter = Session.Item("FilterArray")
bUsed = False
sqlStr = objReport.GetFields(5, Session.Item("FilterArray"), Session.Item("Filters"), Session.Item("Values"), bUsed, sort)

myPlaceHolder = New PlaceHolder
myLinkBtn = New LinkButton
myLinkBtn.ID = "lnkBtn"
myLinkBtn.Text = "Status(Active/Inactive)"
myLinkBtn.onclick = SortNow()
myPlaceHolder.ID = "plcHolder"
myPlaceHolder.Controls.Add(myLinkBtn)
dataStr = objReport.RetrieveData(sqlStr, 5, bUsed, myPlaceHolder)
lblOutput.Text = dataStr

End Sub

End Class
