How do I wire up a client Javascript function call when creating a new CheckBox in my codebehind?

Question

In my ASP.NET page's code behind I'm creating a checkbox on the fly:

CheckBox cb = new CheckBox();

But I want the new checkbox to call a client function instead of posting back. I would expect to be able to do something like this:

cb.OnClientClick = "Javascript:MyClientFunction();";

But that doesn't exist. How do I wire it up on the fly like that?

This will work:

cb.Attributes.Add("onclick", "Javascript:MyClientFunction();");

On code behind you can use Attributes.Add("onclick", "Javascript:MyClientFunction();")
