Dynamically created linkbutton in C#

My problem is that I dynamically create a table where each cell includes a linkbutton, that when clicked is supposed to remove that cell from the table. (It is i bit more complex than that but I will not go into those details, just saying that a workaround will not do) I have read a few post on this and it usually is mentioned that the control has too be (re)made in page load or before. I have tried to run the method that runs setCellContent from both page load and page init and pre init but the _lnkBntRemoveSlotFromTable_Click method is never called as the linkbuttons are clicked. And I am beginning to wonder there is something else wrong than just when the controls are created/recreated.

For each cell the table consist of, this is what is done:

private TableCell setCellContent(string day, DateTime timeOfDay){
    TableCell newCell = new TableCell();
    LinkButton lb = new LinkButton();
    lb.ID = (++global_counter_id).ToString();
    lb.Text = timeOfDay.ToShortTimeString();
    lb.CommandArgument = timeOfDay.ToString();
    lb.Command += new CommandEventHandler(_lnkBntRemoveSlotFromTable_Click);
    newCell.Controls.Add(lb);
    return newCell;
}

The method I want to be called:

public void _lnkBntRemoveSlotFromTable_Click(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
    //1. Make changes to the table
}

But the method is never called.
