Multiple DataKeys in DataGrid 2

[ietprofessional]

Is it possible to have multiple values in a datakey, maybe an array? For example, could you put the customerid and customerphonenumber in the datakey, so that you could retrieve these values?

Thanks,

one thought would be to create a composite key of the 2 fields with some sort of seperator. when you retrieve the key you would need to prase out the fields.

another option would be to put one field in the datakey object and the other as a hidden field in the datagrid.1 of the fields for the composite field would be visible in the source of the page, but you wouldn't need to parse the key.

You can have a hidden column with a label in it to save the second key in it. Framework 2.0 should have a fix for multiple datakyes in the grid control.
