creating controls in c#

i"m creating LinkLabel control using database value... this is working fine ....

but why is it that the event handler i assigned to different controls are only show the same thing .... not different actions ... thanks... here is my code

void createControls()
{
try
{
con.Open();
// Read specific values in the table.
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from PAGES ", con);
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "CLASSROOMS");
for (count=0; count <= ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count - 1; count++)
{
CLASS_NAME = ds.Tables[0].Rows[count]["CONTROL_NAME"].ToString(); // rdr.GetString(3);
CONTROL_TYPE = ds.Tables[0].Rows[count]["CONTROL_TYPE"].ToString(); // rdr.GetString(2);
CONTROL_TEXT = ds.Tables[0].Rows[count]["CONTROL_TEXT"].ToString() + "(" + NUMBER_PER_CLASS + ")";
CONTROL_LOCATION = (int)ds.Tables[0].Rows[count]["CONTROL_LOCATION"];
CONTROL_HEIGHT = (int)ds.Tables[0].Rows[count]["CONTROL_HEIGHT"];
CONTROL_NAME = ds.Tables[0].Rows[count]["CONTROL_NAME"].ToString();
LinkLabel lk = new LinkLabel();
Controls.Add(lk);
lk.Text = CONTROL_TEXT;
lk.Location = new Point (CONTROL_HEIGHT,CONTROL_LOCATION);
lk.Name = CONTROL_NAME;
lk.AutoSize=true;
lk.Click += (s,e)=> { MessageBox.Show(CONTROL_NAME.ToString()); };
lk.Show();
}

i want a messageBox to pop up and show the control Name once the control is clicked...... but i"m getting the same Control name for all the controls

Hello,
Try this:
lk.Click += (s,e)=> { MessageBox.Show((s as LinkLabel).Name.ToString()); };
