If possible, read up on the ASP.NET page lifecycle. You will learn that when a page posts back, the control tree is recreated, eventhandlers are reattached, the Page_Load event is called and then only the event that raised the control is raised.
In your case, since the control that raises the event (linkbutton) is dynamic control, it's associated event is never raised. The only way to counter this is recreate the entire table (gridview?) along with the linkbuttons that loaded the first time in the Page_Load method (on postback). Then the eventhandler for the associated linkbutton will fire.
