C# linkbutton not firing in Gridview within Updatepanel - redirect

Question

I'm hoping someone can help me. I have searched the web for a suitable answer but haven't found one.
I have the following LinkButton in a GridView (GridView2) which is within an UpdatePanel set to UpdateMode='Conditional':
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lblSCcomments" runat="server" Width="80"
Text='<%#Eval("ShortCode")%>' CommandName="hyperSC"
OnCommand="GridView2_Command"
CommandArgument='<%#Eval("ShortCode")%>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
with this code behind:
protected void GridView2_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "hyperSC")
{
string sc = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
lblShortCode.Text = sc;
Session["scode"] = sc;
Server.Transfer("~/MemberPages/reviews.aspx");
}
}
Unfortunately, when I click on the link the command is not firing. But this was working outside of the UpdatePanel. I don't need the Gridview to refresh, just need to populate the Session variable and lblShortCode Label with the selected row Shortcode and be redirected to another page.

You have to add OnRowCommand event in your GridView like <asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" OnRowCommand="GridView2_RowCommand"> and do you .CS code in this event:
protected void GridView2_RowCommand(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "hyperSC")
{
string sc = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
lblShortCode.Text = sc;
Session["scode"] = sc;
Server.Transfer("~/MemberPages/reviews.aspx");
}
}
And remove the OnCommand event from LinkButton.
