Wiring up dynamic control

I load a dynamic control once a button is clicked. In the control is
another button. However, I can't get its click event to fire. Here's
the pattern:

Page1.aspx
---------
SomeButton_Click()
{
Control control = LoadControl("mycontrol.ascx");
control.ID = "thecontrolID";
panel1.Controls.Add(control);
}


mycontrol.ascx
----------------------
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(!IsPostBack)
this.mybutton.Click += new
mybuttonClickEventHandler(btnmybutton_Click);
}


Once SomeButton is clicked, the user control loads via AJAX and
appears. I see btnmybutton from the user control. Once I click it,
the click event doesn't fire. Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
you are not hooking up the event handler on postback, so there is no way
for it to fire.

You've probably forgotten to set it's ID property...

Not quite. I creat the control on button_click(). That initiates a
postback. The control must be created again after postback. That
leaves room to make a mistake in assigning the same ID, which is where
I went wrong.
