Do regular buttons <asp:button> with CommandName and CommandArgument set not bubble up those commands to a DataList, Repeater or DataGrid?

I am playing around with these now, and have a code that uses a LinkButton which handles the click event fine to highlight a record with <SelectedItemTemplate>. However if I leave the code exactly the same, but change the <asp:linkbutton> to <asp:button> with all attributes the same, it doesnt work. The page appears to re-load, butn othing happens.

I set up a label to output the CommandName and CommandArguments when the event is fired, and with linkbutton it displays the values, but with button it remains blank.

Thanks for any input,
Hammy

I have found that sometimes you need to CType(sender, Button).CommandName to get the thing to work properly.
