Hi,

Do you have the runat="server" tag in your btnEdit? Also, where and when
are you getting the error? Are you sure it happens on the
btnEdit.Attributes line? Also I would definitely switch your syntax to what
Kevin showed, that's how I've always done it. Try commenting out the
attributes line and do something else with the button. Like btnEdit.Visible
= True, if this gives you the same error then there is a problem with either
your button tag or your button declaration, if no error then we have
narrowed it down to how you are adding your attribute. Good luck! Ken.
