Nevermind.  I moved the creating of the TemplateField to Init and that fixed both issues.

I have successfully added a TemplateDataField to my WebDataGrid but now I have two problems.

1. Although I set the CommandName and CommandArgument I cannot get the ItemCommand event to fire.  I get a postbask, but the ItemCommand event does not fire.  Here is my code:

Sub BuildLinks(ByVal ctrl As Control)
    Dim access As IParserAccessor = ctrl
    Dim link As New LinkButton
    link.Text = "View"
    link.CommandArgument = "1"
    link.ID = "linkView"
    link.CommandName = "idEmployee"
    access.AddParsedSubObject(link)
End Sub

//Here is the code to add the Template
AddHandler ProjectedGrid.ItemCommand, AddressOf ProjectedGrid_ItemCommand
Dim templateField As New TemplateDataField
templateField.Header.Text = "Action"
templateField.Key = "KEY_ACTION"
Dim TemplateItem As New CompiledBindableTemplateBuilder(New BuildTemplateMethod(AddressOf BuildLinks), Nothing)
templateField.ItemTemplate = TemplateItem
ProjectedGrid.Columns.Add(templateField)

//In my InitializeRow event I have
Dim actionLink As LinkButton = e.Row.Items.FindItemByKey("KEY_ACTION").FindControl("linkView")
actionLink.CommandArgument = idEmployee

2. After the postback, the LinkButton is gone.  The column is still there but the LinkButton is not.

Thoughts? 

Hi,

Suppose you have registered InitializeRow event handler you  will be able to get the value of particular control inside the template column  like this :

this.WebDataGrid1.InitializeRow += new InitializeRowEventHandler(WebDataGrid1_InitializeRow);

void WebDataGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, RowEventArgs e)

    {

     LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)e.Row.Items.FindItemByKey("TemplateColumn").FindControl("LinkButton1");

    }
