CheckBox does not fire CheckedChanged event when unchecking the checkbox Dynamically in ASP.Net

Question

Here I am having a checkbox in this update panel.

<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="LVCheckBoxes">
    <ContentTemplate>
            <ul>
                <li>
                    <asp:CheckBox ID="New" Text="New" AutoPostBack="true" runat="server" OnCheckedChanged="checkBoxCheck" /></li>
            </ul>
    </ContentTemplate>
</<asp:UpdatePanel >

All I am Trying to do is uncheck it on click of linkbutton. Which is working fine.

<asp:LinkButton id="LbUnCheck" runat="server" OnClick="LbUnCheck" ToolTip="New">UnCheck</asp:LinkButton>

But Along with it I also want to fire the check changed Event Which is not firing

protected void LbUnCheck(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)sender;
        CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)LVCheckBoxes.FindControl(lb.ToolTip);
        cb.CheckedChanged += checkBoxCheck;
        cb.Checked = false;

}


protected void checkBoxCheck(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   //Do something

}

I even Tried this using JQuery but it is not working quite as expected.

Help Appreciated..!!

Try calling the CheckBox check event method (checkBoxCheck) from the Link Button click event method (LbUnCheck). Something like this:

protected void LbUnCheck(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)sender;
        CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)LVCheckBoxes.FindControl(lb.ToolTip);

        // cb.CheckedChanged += checkBoxCheck; // REMOVE THIS LINE

        cb.Checked = false;
        checkBoxCheck(null, null); // NOTICE THIS IS AFTER SETTING cb.Checked = false;
}


protected void checkBoxCheck(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   //Do something
}
