Call checkbox in C# backend

I have one checkbox with ID=checkbox1 in Asp.net gridview. I want to use checkbox1 in if else condition in backend C# code.My problem is I am not getting how to call checkbox1 as it is not showing in the backend.
Thanks in advance.
My code is
if (txtsender.Text != String.Empty && checkbox1.checked==true)
{
chklist();
}

One view to access your checkbox inside Gridview is to loop on grid view rows and find your checkbox. Code example given below to access gridview checkbox in button click event
Aspx code
<asp:GridView ID="gv1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="Name" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="ID" DataField="ID" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkBox" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" Text="T1" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Button ID="btn" runat="server" OnClick="btn_Click" Text="Submit" />
Aspx.cs Code
protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in gv1.Rows)
{
if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
CheckBox c = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("chkBox");
if (c.Checked)
{
}
}
}
}

How to know in which row a button is clicked in asp.net gridView

This is a simple gridView I m using in aspx web page
<asp:GridView ID="Order" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ShowFooter="True" GridLines="none"
ItemType="MyProject.Models.TempList" SelectMethod="GetList" >
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ItemID" HeaderText="ID" SortExpression="ItemID" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ItemName">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="ItemName" Width="40" Visible="true" text="<%#: Item.Item.ItemName %>"></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Price(each)">
<ItemTemplate>
<%#: String.Format("{0:c}", Convert.ToDouble(Item.Item.UnitPrice))%>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete">
<ItemTemplate>
<div style="float:left">
<asp:Button ID="DeleteBtn" runat="server" Text="Delete" OnClick="DeleteBtn_Click"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I have 2+ items in a list<> which is populating the gridView, how can I tell (in the codeBehind.cs) that which Row the "DeleteBtn" was clicked on?
I was using a for loop to iterate every item in gridView using Rows[i] and used a check box to know which item wants to be deleted using a Update button.
But I want to do it directly on a custom created deletebutton.
Thanks in advance, I know I'm missing something silly.

The best way to do that is using CommandName and CommandArgument in your button declaration like that
<asp:Button ID="AddButton" runat="server" CommandName="AddToCart"
CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>" Text="Add to Cart" />
you can pass any value in the case we pass the rowIndex, you can get a propertie from your object like that CommandArgument="<%# Eval("id") %>" after that you will handle the onRowCommand method
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender,GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "AddToCart")
{
// Retrieve the row index stored in the
// CommandArgument property.
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
// Retrieve the row that contains the button
// from the Rows collection.
GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[index];
// Add code here to add the item to the shopping cart.
}
}
hope it helps :)

Use the button's CommandArgument property; assign Container.DataItemIndex to it. Then use the OnRowCommand event of the gridview and grab the index.
Sample aspx:
<asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblMsg" />
<asp:GridView runat="server" id="gvSample" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnRowCommand="PerformOperation">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="RowValue"/>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button Text="Delete" runat="server" CommandName="MyCustomCommand" CommandArgument="<%# Container.DataItemIndex %>" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Code behind:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
PopulateGrid();
}
}
private void PopulateGrid()
{
gvSample.DataSource = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(i => new { RowValue = i });
gvSample.DataBind();
}
protected void PerformOperation(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "MyCustomCommand")
{
var rowIndex = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument);
lblMsg.Text = string.Format("Button on row index: {0} was clicked!", rowIndex);
}
}

Let the button field be given a CommandName, say for example a unique string myCommandName in the Edit columns dialog box. Don't worry about the CommandArgument. Then, in the Grid view Row command event, you can check which button (i.e. column) is clicked by tracing the command name like if e.commandname = "mycommandname", at the same time the CommandArgument will also be available as String and all we have to do is to converttoint32, something like intSelectedRow = convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument) which will give us the selected row's index.

Doesnot firing OnSelectedIndexChanged event for Dropdownlist control existed in Child Gridview

I have parent gridview and child gridview, In child gridview I have one dropdown list, I need to fire the onselectedindexchanged event for that drop down but it is not firring because it is existed in the child gridview. If I place that dropdown in parent gridview then that selectedindexchanged is firing but I want to place that dropdown in child gridview and need to fire onselectedindexchanged event when user change the dropdown list value . In the below gridview image you can see the Status column in child gridview. It contains dropdown now I want to fire that dropdown seleted index changed event in code behind.
<asp:GridView ID="gvCountry" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<img alt="" id="imgsymbol" style="cursor: pointer" src="images/plus.png" />
<asp:Panel ID="pnlOrders" runat="server" Style="display: none">
<asp:GridView ID="gvBrokerdetails" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" CssClass="mGrid" OnRowCommand="gvBrokerdetails_RowCommand"
AlternatingRowStyle-CssClass="alt" PagerStyle-CssClass="pgr" GridLines="None" AllowPaging="true">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="BrokerName" HeaderText="Name" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Status">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlStatus" runat="server" OnSelectedIndexChanged="ddlStatus_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="true">
<asp:ListItem Text="Include" Value="0"></asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem Text="Exclude" Value="1"></asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Delete">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="imgBtnDeleteRow" runat="server" Width="25px" Height="25px" CommandName="CrossImageButton" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("BrokerId")%>' ImageUrl="~/images/cross-button.png" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</asp:Panel>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="CountryName" HeaderText="Country Name" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
CodeBehind:
public void ddlStatus_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
But the above is event is not calling. Is there any other process to achieve or I need to specify any new property in the code.

Find your gridview inside the RowDataBound Event of parent gridview
protected void gvCountry_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
GridView mygrid = e.Row.FindControl("gvBrokerdetails") as GridView;
}
}
than handle the event of mygrid it is your child grid you can handle any event you want or assign any property to it. an example of Selected_IndexChanged is below
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
GridView mygrid = e.Row.FindControl("gvBrokerdetails") as GridView;
mygrid.SelectedIndexChanged += new EventHandler(mygrid_SelectedIndexChanged);
}
}
void mygrid_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// Write your code here
}

Asp GridView select a row then fire event

Here is the scenario ..
I have a GridView with columns ID, Name, and Type. Name is click enabled and will redirect to other page. The entire row can be selected, and using jQuery I changed its background so it will be recognized as selected row.
The reason it must be selected is because a link, for example Delete is present at the page. When Delete is clicked, it should delete the selected row but when there is no selected row, it should do nothing.
Here is my code:
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnDelete" runat="server">Delete</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:GridView ID="gridView" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gridView_RowDataBound" OnRowCommand="gridView_Command" AutoGenerateColumns="false" >
<columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lb1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' CommandName="NameButton" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Type" />
</columns>
</asp:GridView>
public void gridView_Command(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "NameButton")
{
var id = e.CommandArgument;
// redirect to edit page //
}
}
I am using jQuery to indicate that a row is selected.
I already have the code for the Delete event method but my problem is how can I tell the compiler that a row is currently selected upon clicked of Delete?
I am thinking of using a hidden field, and on jQuery, I will set the value of the hidden field to the ID of the row that is selected. However, I still don't have the idea on how to do it.

It is pretty straight. You can store the SelectedIndex in a hidden field and find the GridViewRow by the index.
Add a hidden field in the markup and also attach an event method to the Link button:
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnDelete" OnClick="btnDelete_Click" runat="server">Delete</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnIndex" runat="server" />
<asp:GridView ID="gridView" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gridView_RowDataBound"
OnRowCommand="gridView_RowCommand" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ID" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lb1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Name") %>' CommandName="NameButton" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Type" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
In the GridView RowDataBound add an attribute to execute javascript to save index in hidden field:
protected void gridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript: getElementById('" + hdnIndex.ClientID + "').value='" + e.Row.RowIndex + "';");
}
}
And LinkButton's click event do like this:
protected void btnDelete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int index = 0;
int id = 0;
if (int.TryParse(hdnIndex.Value, out index))
{
GridViewRow gvr = gridView.Rows[index];
if (gvr != null && int.TryParse(gvr.Cells[0].Text, out id) )
{
// id is available here
// do wahtever you want with the id
// even you can delete the record from db by id
}
}
}

I guess command-argument is what you are searching for...Check this link
You just need to pass the Id using command argument from front-end to the code file and from there you can delete it easily.

ASP GridView with Hover Menu, determining row that calls popup

I have a GridView bound to an object datasource and a hover menu extender over that. On the panel that pops up I have two buttons - one for delete and one for edit. The problem I'm having is identifying which row triggered the hover menu so I know what to delete. I've searched all over the site and found similar issues but I wasn't able to apply them properly. I followed this video, and was able to get a hidden field to maintain the ID but only of the last row that was created, so my delete button always removed the last entry. I hope that was somewhat clear..
Here is my gridview code:
<asp:GridView runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="source_Layout_view" ID="GridView1"
onrowdatabound="GridView1_RowDataBound"
onrowcreated="GridView1_RowCreated">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="type" HeaderText="type" SortExpression="type" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="code" HeaderText="code" SortExpression="code" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="description" HeaderText="description"
SortExpression="description" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="position" HeaderText="position"
SortExpression="position" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="sequence" HeaderText="sequence"
SortExpression="sequence" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ID") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image ID="img_edit" runat="server" ImageUrl='~/ui/images/wrench.png' Width="25px" Height="25px" />
<asp:HoverMenuExtender ID="gridview_options_extender" runat="server" PopupControlID="gridview_options_popup" TargetControlID="img_edit"
OffsetX="10" OffsetY="10" PopupPosition="Right" PopDelay="50" HoverDelay="50" >
</asp:HoverMenuExtender>
<asp:Panel ID="gridview_options_popup" runat="server">
<asp:Button ID="btn_popup_delete" runat="server" Text="Delete Unit" OnClick="deleteRow"/>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="btn_popup_edit" runat="server" Text="Edit Unit" />
<asp:HiddenField ID="tellmeRow" runat="server" Value='Eval("ID")'/>
</asp:Panel>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
and here is my code behind
protected void deleteRow(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button b = sender as Button;
Panel x = b.Parent as Panel;
HiddenField whatiwant = (HiddenField)x.FindControl("tellmeRow");
int idForDeletion = Int32.Parse(whatiwant.Value);
using (var context = new cocoEntities())
{
context.CoCo_Current.DeleteObject(context.CoCo_Current.Single(o => o.ID == idForDeletion));
context.SaveChanges();
}
Response.Redirect("default.aspx");
}
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
HoverMenuExtender menu = (HoverMenuExtender)e.Row.FindControl("gridview_options_extender");
e.Row.ID = e.Row.RowIndex.ToString();
menu.TargetControlID = e.Row.ID;
}
}
}

Don't use button click handler to do some action on a GridView. Assign instead apropriate CommandName property value for button and handle GridView's RowCommand event. GridView.RowCommand Event
