    {
         LinkButton lnk = new LinkButton();
         lnk.Text = "click here";
         e.Row.Cells[1].Controls.Add(lnk);
         lnk.Click +=new EventHandler(lnk_Click);
         lnk.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return false;");
   }

protected void lnk_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

 var exist = lbllist.Items.FindByValue(gvPkgcbndate.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text);
    string[] smsg = gvPkgcbndate.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text.Split('-');
    string txt1 = smsg[1].ToString().Trim();
    lbllist.Items.Add(txt1.Substring(0, txt1.Length - 2));

How could "return false" possible work? Return from what? How it could affect any behavior?

You would think that after years of getting people to do your work for you, you would have at least learned how to format your code.

C#

protected void gvPkgcbndate_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   LinkButton lnk = new LinkButton();
   lnk.Text = "click here";
   //set unique id for your dynamic link button 
   lnk.ID = "btn" + e.Row.RowIndex.ToString();
   e.Row.Cells[1].Controls.Add(lnk);
   lnk.Click +=new EventHandler(lnk_Click);
}

Hello,

C#

lnk.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return false;"); // this code stopping linkbutton to fire.

and set the ID:

C#

protected void gvPkgcbndate_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
LinkButton lnk = new LinkButton();
lnk.ID = "lnk"
lnk.Text = "click here";
e.Row.Cells[1].Controls.Add(lnk);
lnk.Click +=new EventHandler(lnk_Click);
lnk.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return false;");
}
