Repeater ItemCommand not firing

I've seen several posts relating to this problem, and tried
EnableViewState="False", but it does not work for me. A twist in my
problem is that I am adding the templates for the repeater dynamically
(something I need to do for my application). The problem is that when
I click on the button in the repeater the ItemCommand event does not
seem to be fired. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
