Ok, but my real problem is this, i know i need say 3 linkbuttons, named linkbutton1, linkbutton2 and linkbutton3

In my gridview i want something like this
row linkbutton
1 linkbutton1
2 linkbutton3
3 linkbutton3
4 linkbutton2

So linkbutton3 is used twice, and i want to have the same properties, i tried

dim lb as new LinkButton = Panel.FindControl("2")

But i dont get a new button, i get the button in the Panel...I just want to copy or reference to it..

Plz advice, Figa
