Grabbing the item index of a datagrid 2

[Modica82]

Hi all,

I want to add the index of a datagrid to the query string when a button is clicked from a template column in a datagrid. How do i get the current index of a row?

Can i grab that info?

You can create a button in a template column
<asp:linkbutton CommandName="RunSomething" Text="RunIt" id="btnRunIt" runat="server"/>
Ensure that the datagrid has
OnItemCommand="dg_ItemCommand"

then the command can get the index-

Private sub dg_ItemCommand(source As Object, e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)

Select e.Commandname
Case "RunSomething"
Dim intIndex as integer = e.Item.ItemIndex
End Select

End Sub

Thanks White,

Didnt really want to use the onItem Command but seems to be my only option.

Thanks,

Rob

can you not call the selected index? doesnt that associate whenever anything is clicked in that row?

sub itemActionFromTemplate(sender as object, e as eventargs)
dim dgIndex as integer = MyDataGrid.SelectedIndex
'do something else with it
end sub

Found this way of doing it...

                <asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Client Name" ItemStyle-Wrap="False" ItemStyle-Width="125">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:LinkButton runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ClientName") %>'
                            id=lbUser CssClass="hyper" OnCommand=openClient CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ClientID") %>' />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateColumn>

    Sub openClient(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal intID As CommandEventArgs)
        Dim link As String = "'userDetail.aspx?clientid=" & intID.CommandArgument & "',""""" & ",""HEIGHT=520,WIDTH=900,scrollbars=yes"""
        message.Text = "<script language='javascript'>window.open(" & link & ")</script>"
    End Sub
