Simple DataList Update on PostBack

Hi,

I have a DataList that displays a column of text boxes that the user can 
edit.  Instead of having a button with a CommandName within the 
<asp:DataList> to submit the page, I have just a regular HTML submit button 
elsewhere on the page.

How can I call the DataList's UpdateCommand event on postback in the code 
behind when just a regular submit button was clicked?

Thanks,

newGuy

RE: Simple DataList Update on PostBack

For anyone having this same problem, I came up with an easy 
workaround--albeit not as elegant as if it were using the built-in members.

I just added code similar to this in the Page_Load event:

if IsPostBack
 methodToIterateThroughDataList()
