Can't get RegisterPostBackControl to recognize button in a dynamic template
posted

What I am doing is creating a custom pager control, which I add dynamically to all of my WebDataGrids.  In that control, I have a button that fires a WebExcelExporter to export the contents of the grid to Excel.  Problem is, my grid is in an UpdatePanel and I need to do a full postback.  Problem is, when I do RegisterPostBackControl on that button, it has no effect.  It seems to work fine if I just put the button in PagerTemplate on the page and get it with FindControl, but it won't work if I add the template dynamically or in my custom control either way.  It also used to work fine when I had my custom pager in a user control.

 

Any idea why it is behaving like this?
