Pass parameter from Gridview column to Javascript

I need to pass an argument (which comes from my database) from a radgrid view column to my javascript (which opens a dialog box window). However, I can't put the "bind("Id")" as a parameter from where I call the javascript as href.
In simpler words, I am looking for a way to pass <% Bind("Id")%> to the javascript, OpenMyWindow, call instead of the hardcoded, 111, right now.
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Meet" DataField="Subject" HeaderText="Meet">
<ItemTemplate>
<div style="text-align: center">
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Subject") %>' href="javascript: OpenMyWindow(111);" Width="30%">
</asp:LinkButton>
</div>
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
When I try "OnClick" instead of "href", my popup dialog box closes instantly and doesn't stay opened.

Try using "OnClientClick" and return false from your javascript method to prevent post back.
Alternatively. You could use a method passing in the DataIten. Then output an anchor tag created anyway you like:
<%# formatOpener(Container.DataItem) %>
With code behind of:
protected string formatOpener(object item)
{
ObjectType myObj = (ObjectType)item;
return String.Format("<a href=\"javascript:OpenMyWindow({0});\" width=\"30%\"/>{1}</a>", myObj.ID, myObj.subject);
}

I think you don't need a LinkButton, you could achieve it with an asp:HyperLink (which renders as a a tag):
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Subject") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# "javascript: OpenMyWindow(" + Eval("ID").ToString() + ");" %>'></asp:HyperLink>
Also, don't use Bind if you don't need it, for displaying purposes always use Eval.

User HyperLink control instead and try setting the NavigateUrl property of the HyperLink this way:
<asp:HyperLink ID="hlLink" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Subject") %>' NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("Id", "javascript: OpenMyWindow({0});")%>'>
hope it helps./.

I finally figured out and solved this issue. Actually, somebody told me on the other post that, CommandArgument is completely a server-side property and doesn't render any html attribute. So I can't change any button's attribute and fire click on it. I finally made "Id" come through the code behind and made it work.
aspx code
<telerik:GridButtonColumn UniqueName="Subject" DataTextField="Subject" HeaderText="Meeting">
<HeaderStyle Width="30%" />
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>
Code Behind
var subjectLink = meetingRow["Subject"].Controls[0] as LinkButton;
subjectLink.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript: return OpenMyWindow('" + meetingId + "')");

OnClick for Hyperlink

I'm new to ASP.NET and C# and also new to this forum but here is my problem.
I'm trying to create a image gallery with ASP.NET Webforms(requirement) and C#. I'm using a Listview to show the thumbnails and when you click on the small picture the big version should show above in a img tag for example. But I cant find any "OnClick" code for a hyperlink. Do I have to do that with JavaScript?
Thanks for all help.
here is some of the code:
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="ImageHyperLink" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("Name","~/files/thumbs/{0}") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("Name","~/files/{0}") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>

Try taking a look at LinkButton
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.linkbutton(v=vs.110).aspx
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" id="LinkButton1" OnClick="OnClickAction"></asp:LinkButton>
This will allow you to do a server-side method in much the same way an <asp:Button> will do. However will look just like a hyperlink.

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"
NavigateUrl="http://stackoverflow.com/">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>
You will not get on click event for HyperLink, But for navigating on to the another page.
You will get one property which is NavigateUrl
By using this property you can redirect to any page by giving url.

How to access Dataset from.cs to .aspx using eval()

I am coding Gridview programmatically.
I have dataset in code behind part(.cs),when i am trying to access the dataset in .aspx page using Eval() "Error Creating Control" error is coming.
Is it the Right way using Eval()?
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblGridTier" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval(dt.Tables[0].Columns["Tier"])%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

If you are doing something like this in the code behind to bind the GridView (and you actually should do something like this):
DateSet ds = ...
GridView1.DataSource = ds;
GridView1.DataBind();
then the correct way to use eval is to give it just the name of the column you want to show.
Text='<%#Eval("Tier")%>'

ok please note html is rendered first then your code behind file is called. Now here dataset is null (not yet created) when HTML is being rendered dataset is null so control will not be created and an exception will be thrown. You can use this work around on Page_Load you can set text property of label or check here if dataset is null then don't assign value using Eval. Hope it will help.

Eval function evaluates fields directly from the selected table of datasource which your grid is bound with. A couple of examples as follows:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblSomeField" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("field1")%>'></asp:Label>
<asp:Image ID="lblImageLink" runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# Eval("imagefield", "http://somelink.com/images/{0}")%>' />
<asp:HyperLink ID="lblMember" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "/member.aspx?id=" + Eval("id") %>' Text='<%# Eval("membername") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

GridView trouble in .Net

i think this maybe an easy one...
I have a Gridview, bound to a dataSource with this query:
select userid, name, phone from users
I need to change the content of the Name cell to a link, like so:
User's Name
so OnRowDataBound i'm doing this:
e.Row.Cells[1].Text = "" + e.Row.Cells[1].Text + "";
It all works fine this way. My problem is that i don't want to display the UserId column in the Gridview, but when i attribute it (asp attribute or server-side) Visible="false" to the BoundField UserId, i can't capture it's value to build the Name Cell.
Thanx for your help

Make your gridView to use template items instead of simple grivdiew column.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FirstName" SortExpression="FirstName">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName")%>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("FirstName") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
You can find a nice intro Here

Agree with Jani, this should be done with a template field. If you really need to do it the other way, see Can data be kept in a dynamically bound GridView's invisible fields?.

you can set the visibility on the onrowdatabound event

Really simple GridView ASP.NET question

Ok, this should be really easy, but I just don't have enough experience.
I need to throw a GridView on a WebForm and populate with a List, where Template is my class that has ID, Name, CreatedOn, etc... properties.
The GridView needs to display each Template Name as a link. The link should point to TemplateEdit.aspx page, with the following URL: TemplateEdit.aspx?ID={ID of Template}.
I also need a Delete link (preferably an image link), that should popup a Yes/No delete confirmation dialog.
I've actually done this before in 2005 or so, but I simply can't remember anymore.

Here's how you do it (borrowed the code from here to save some typing)
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Statement" SortExpression="Statement">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="Link1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("ID", "~/TemplateEdit.aspx?ID={0}") %>' Text="The Best Link"></asp:HyperLink >
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="DeleteButton" Runat="server" ImageUrl="~/images/delete.gif" OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure you want to delete this?');" ToolTip="Delete" CommandName="Delete" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
didn't actually test it, but looks like it should work.
