    <div class="comment">

    </div>
    <div class="report_abuse">

    </div>

    <div class="comments_pannel_bottom">
    <div class="btns">
        <asp:ImageButton ID="btnYes" ImageUrl="images/yes_btn.jpg" width="33"   height="23"  runat="server" CommandName="Yes" />
        <asp:ImageButton ID="btnNo" runat="server" ImageUrl="images/no_btn.jpg" width="33" height="23" alt="" CommandName="No"/>

    </div>
    </div>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

  This is the onitem command event handler:

  protected void DataList1_ItemCommand(object source, DataListCommandEventArgs e)
    {

    }

What server-side event handler are they bound to? Usually the markup contains an OnCommand property which binds the command event to a server-side handler. See examples here:

<asp:ImageButton id="imagebutton2" runat="server"
       AlternateText="Edit"
       ImageUrl="images/pict2.jpg"
       OnCommand="ImageButton_Command"
       CommandName="Edit"/>

The value for the OnCommand property would be the name of the server-side event handler method:

void ImageButton_Command(object sender, CommandEventArgs e) 
{
   //...
}
