{
GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[2].Text = "Accepted";
string msg = "ACCEPTED";
Session["c_email"] = GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[5].Text;
string constr = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["constr"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr);
con.Open();
string insert = "insert into Status values(#email,#c_email,#status)";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(insert, con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#c_email", Session["c_email"].ToString());

I have a grid view that contains two command fields with 2 selection button. I want the button as Accept and Reject on my page. But I am unable to find out how to code it's working.
I have coded for one command field on selectedIndexChanged but how to code for the second command field. Please help me out.

Save CheckBox Values in GridView to Database. ASP.NET

i am developing webform with gridview. I have a problem, the value of checkbox doesn't save in the table. I've tried everything nothing is working. After i press a button, value doesn't store.
And as you can see in my code, i don't use id for unidentified of each particular row, instead id i use foreach
protected void Button_Submit_Onclick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView2.Rows)
{
con.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["TestDeductionsConnectionString2"].ToString();
bool private1 = (row.FindControl("CheckBox1") as CheckBox).Checked;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into DetailCosts(private) values(#private1)", con);
if (private1 == true)
{
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("#private1", SqlDbType.Bit));
cmd.Parameters["#private1"].Value = 1;
//cmd.Parameters.Add("#private1", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = 1;
}
else
{
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("#private1", SqlDbType.Bit));
cmd.Parameters["#private1"].Value = 0;
//cmd.Parameters.Add("#private1", SqlDbType.Bit).Value = 0;
}
con.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
con.Close();
}}

C# code:
protected void gdv_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int indx = 0;
indx = gdv.SelectedIndex;
string salesorderno = "";
string sectionid = "";
string sectionname = "";
string outletid = "";
string outletname = "";
string salespersonname = "";
string orderdate = "";
string ordervalue = "";
string ordercheck = "";
for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++)
{
salesorderno = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[1].Text.ToString();
sectionid = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[2].Text.ToString();
sectionname = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[3].Text.ToString();
outletid = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[4].Text.ToString();
outletname = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[5].Text.ToString();
salespersonname = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[6].Text.ToString();
orderdate = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[7].Text.ToString();
ordervalue = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[8].Text.ToString();
ordercheck = gdv.Rows[indx].Cells[9].Text.ToString();
}
lblOrderNo.Text = salesorderno;
lblSectionName.Text = sectionname;
lblOutletName.Text = outletname;
lblOrderDate.Text = orderdate;
LoadOrderReportDetailGrid(salesorderno);
}
protected void gdvOrderDetail_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

test is sufficient to know the origin of the event.
Exemple :
private void dataGrid1_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if(dataGrid1.SelectedItem!=null)
MessageBox.Show("aaaaaaaaaaa");
}
private void dataGrid2_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
if (dataGrid2.SelectedItem != null)
MessageBox.Show("BBBBBbbBBBB ");
}

Just open the event window for the gridviews then select one of them and on the event window double click on the "selected index changed" event. it will move you to the code section. if you are in true procedure than the event binding is true. if not you have to change the definition of your procedure.
Here is the simple process.
copy the codes inside the procedure and paste them to a safe place.
delete the procedures related the gridviews
check the event page for gridviews to ensure there is nothing in the "selected index changed" event.
double click the first gridviews "selected index changed" event. it will create a blank procedure. paste the related code here.
do the same for second.
and the other thing check the validation groups of the gridviews in the properties window. they should be different :)
NOT: forgive me that i cannot write the code directly. because i am not with my own computer. I hope it works.

Reading bounded DataItem expression text from control inside template field

I have a custom gridview and I use that grid in too many pages and I want to set the SortExpression text for all columns inside that grid in code behained ; as you see in the following code I have do that by overriding the OnRowDataBound eventhandler .
The problem is I can't access the evaluated datafield expression text ("START_WORK_DATE" in my case) for template Fields like what I did in BoundField
<eska:GridView ID="gvEmployees" runat="server" CssClass="new-grid" PageSize="20"

<FooterStyle Width="2%" />
</asp:BoundField>
</Columns>
</eska:GridView>
Code behind:
protected override void OnRowDataBound(GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
for (int i = 0; i < this.Columns.Count; i++)
{
if (this.Columns[i] is BoundField)
{
if (((BoundField)(this.Columns[i])).DataField != string.Empty)
{
this.Columns[i].SortExpression = ((BoundField)(this.Columns[i])).DataField;
}
}
else if (this.Columns[i] is TemplateField)
{
// ???
}
}
}
}

You can do some thing like this. Set a header template with link button.
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButtonEmpName" runat="server" Text="Employee Name" CommandName="Sort" CommandArgument="Employees">
</asp:LinkButton>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LabelEmployee" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Employees") %>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBoxEmployee" runat="server"/>
</FooterTemplate>
And in row command event find command like this.
protected void grd_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e){
if (e.CommandName.Equals("Sort"))
{
FilterExpression = e.CommandArgument.ToString() + " LIKE '%" + txtCaseNumber.Text + "%'";
BindGridView();
}}
