I think your trying to mix server side and client side events here.

The html attribute OnClick is a client side, when a user clicks on the button it fires a piece of JavaScript The server event OnClick happens when a user clicks a button and it posts back to the server, which allows you to hook functions (server side) into that event.

Are you looking for server side or client side?

To add a client side event you can do

btn2.Attributes.Add("onclick","my_javascript_function");

To add a server side event you can do

btn2.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.MyMethod); 

Where this.MyMethod is a method already seutp to handle the server side button click.
