I want to get the value of a hidden field in a grid view from code-behind, but not to be used in the _RowDataBound or any other similar method. Here is my present code (it is a shopping cart scenario):
<asp:GridView ID="gvShoppingCart"
runat="server"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
AllowPaging="True"
DataKeyNames="ID"
ShowFooter="true">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField ID="lblProductID" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("ProductID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Product">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("ProductID", "product_details.aspx?id={0}") %>'
Text='<%# GetProduct(Eval("ProductID")) %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Quantity">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtQuantity" runat="server" Width="35" CssClass="input" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)" AutoPostBack="true" ontextchanged="txtQuantity_TextChanged"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
For the sake of brevity I removed certain fields since they are there only for the display. The Quantity field is there for the user to input a number to add a number of products to his cart. I wish to access the lblProductID label in the _TextChanged event. In this same event, I tried
Label lblProductID = (Label)gvShoppingCart.FindControl("lblProductID");
but it didn't work and returns only a null value. What is the solution?
For each row in your GridView there is a HiddenField for the ProductID.
You can access the HiddenField of a row (in the example below the first row) by using the following code (assuming your HiddenField is in the first cell):
HiddenField hiddenFieldProductID =
(HiddenField)gvShoppingCart.Rows[0].Cells[0].FindControl("lblProductID");
string productID = hiddenFieldProductID.Value
// Do something with the value
Hope, this helps.
Try to replace the HiddenField to a label or a textbox and set the visible attribute to false.
I had tried this before and it works.

Greetings fellow developers. I am new to ASP.NET C# so pardon me if there are areas that I missed out/
Current in my project, I have this Gridview - where I used "TemplateField" for almost every data field. My issue is, I do not know how can I pass the value in to another page. I tried using SESSION but unfortunately, it is not working. I also tried using BOUNDFIELD, it works but it does not fulfil my project requirement as the default setting for BOUNDFIELD is textbox, I want it to be a DROPDOWN LIST control instead. Any kind advice would be much appreciated. Attached below is my codes.

WebForm1.aspx.cs
protected void PassData(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow gr = ((sender as LinkButton).NamingContainer as GridViewRow);
Session["Category"] = gr.Cells[1].Text.Trim();
Response.Redirect("AfterUserMthlyExpenses.aspx");
}
WebForm2.aspx
<asp:Label ID="lblPassCategory" runat="server" ></asp:Label>

{

}
}
Well, really one should hold off on the passing of the value to the next page until such time you have a working simple answer to select/get the given row that you clicked on right?
Be it a repeater, grid view, list view (details view) etc.?
In asp.net they ALL FOLLOW the same process. You want to have that button click set/move/change to the correct given row that you clicked on. Until you have that “movement” or selection of the row occur, then you will fail at attempting to grab values from that row.
So, looking at this, you have a link button (it could be a asp.net button if want – don’t matter), you need that button to trigger/set/move/cause the row you are working on to change FIRST and BEFORE you attempt to grab data/values from that given row.
The WAY you do this is to add a special command. As noted, this works for list view/grivdview/repeater and MANY more data bound controls.
so what you learn here can apply to just about ANY data aware control (that repeats data).
So, add this to the one link button in the item template:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton3" runat="server"
CommandName = "MyJump"
CommandArgument = '<%# Eval("Category") %>'
>Select</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
So, the INSTANT you add CommandName="Select", then this will cause TWO events of the grid to fire.
OnRowComand:
The row command event will fire. But the row HAS NOT YET changed!
However, since we use CommandArgument and pass "Catagory", then we of course can use the rowcomamnd event, and pick up the CommandArgument value.
So, you can have this code in row command event:
Protected Sub GridView1_RowCommand(sender As Object, e As GridViewCommandEventArgs) Handles GridView1.RowCommand
Debug.Print("row command = " & e.CommandName)
Debug.Print("row arg = " & e.CommandArgument)
If e.CommandName = "MySelect" Then
' do whatever
End If
End Sub
Note how we don't need (you can remove) the on-click event for that button - you use the rowcommand event stub, and pick up the custom command name you passed (MySelect).
You can ALSO trigger the selected row event to fire. This would allow you to use/keep/have your EXISTING code click stub for your button.
However you now MUST change the CommandName from "your custom" name to either;
Select (move the grid pointer)
Edit - trigger edit event
Delete - trigger delete event
However, in your button click (as you have now).
You could try this:
Dim btn As Button = sender
Dim gvRow As GridViewRow = btn.Parent.Parent
Debug.Print("btn row sel = " & gvRow.RowIndex)
Debug.Print("btn argument = " & btn.CommandArgument)
So you can try btn.Parent (that will be the grid cell, and parent again will return the ONE row as you have. From that, you can grab any value out of that row.
eg:
dim myLable as label
myLabel = gvRow.FindControl("Label1")
debug.print myLabel.Text (should return catagory).
Probably most easy to just add a CommandArgument, and pick it up from sender.
Now that you first and foremost verify that you have the correct value, then you can shove that value into session. in fact you can even shove in the whole gvRow into session, and thus pass all of the values of that row to the page you jump to.
I am importing a column in datatable to my grid. Now I want navigate to a new page on selecting a cell in grid by fetching the selected value. I have tried this by including bound field in my grid like
<asp:GridView ID="GDV_1" runat="server" EnableModelValidation="true" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GDV_1_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoGenerateSelectButton="false" DataKeyNames="SROID">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="SRONameinEnglish" HtmlEncode="False" DataFormatString="<a target='_blank' href='Test.aspx?code={0}>ClickHere</a>" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
Doing this way my requirement is achieved but the all cells are displaying Common text Click here instead of showing data from Database.
Please give your suggestion on how to get the value from database into cell and make it clickable. I don't want to use Select button. Please find my current output.
This is my current output I want my data from DB instead of ClickHere.
You can use TemplateField
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="lnk<%# Eval("SRONameinEnglish")%>"><%# Eval("SRONameinEnglish")%></asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
and click of LinkButton put your code to navigate anywhere.
In your case you are binding boundfield with static a tag which have href attribute so your not able to change text on that boundfield from your database.To get your approach you should
use TemplateField and bind data with text attribute using eval keyword as below example.
Try it:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("name") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
OR
you can also bind link with your hyperlink using NavigateUrl property of hyperlink as below example.
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink2" NavigateUrl='<%#Eval("YourUrl") %>' Text='<%#Eval("name") %>' runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
I hope it will helpful to you.
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Code" SortExpression="Code" UniqueName="Code" AllowFiltering="True">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbCCode" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Code") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
So how can I allow RadGrid to filter the results based on the text value of LinkButton? Is there a way to do that?
Please try with the below code snippet.
<telerik:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Code" SortExpression="Code" UniqueName="Code" AllowFiltering="True"
DataField="Code">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbCCode" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Code") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
I have added DataField property in template column. if you get any error in grid then please set EnableLinqExpressions="false" in your grid.
I have a gridview to which I dynamically bind data to.
It features SELECT and EDIT commands.
When it is in EDIT mode all the fields turn into textboxes that can be edited.
What I would like to do is add an Ajax Calendar Extender to one of the textboxes.
How can I create a TemplateField just for the one field?
Is it even possible? I know how to do it if I bound all fields and assign the data via a SqlDataSource.
I have tried adding the templatefield to my gridview but the data is just not showing up:
<asp:GridView ID="gvCheckResults" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gvCheckResults_RowDataBound"
OnRowEditing="gvCheckResults_RowEditing" OnRowUpdating="gvCheckResults_RowUpdating" OnRowCancelingEdit="gvCheckResults_RowCancelingEdit"
OnRowDeleting="gvCheckResults_RowDeleting">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="DateOfTest" SortExpression="DateOfTest">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DateOfTest") %>'></asp:TextBox>
<ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender ID="test" runat="server"
TargetControlID="TextBox1"
CssClass="calendar"
Format="dd/MM/yyyy">
</ajaxToolkit:CalendarExtender>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("DateOfTest") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
How the data gets bound:
protected void TestDataBind()
{
string Name = txtCheckName.Text;
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(Name))
Name = null;
gvCheckResults.DataSource = dataContext.GetRecords(Name);
gvCheckResults.DataBind();
}
I have a gridview with a hyperlink:
<asp:GridView ID="gvEmployees" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
CssClass="table table-hover table-striped" GridLines="None" >
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="EmployeName">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"
Text='<%# Bind("EmployeName") %>' ></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID" SortExpression="EmployeID" Visible="False">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="lblID" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("EmployeID") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
However, it should only appear as a hyperlink if the employeeID is that of the logged in employee.
I can do all that, but what I do not know is how to make the hyperlink look like a Label. It's easy to have it not link anywhere, but I do not know how to make it look like a label.
Thanks
I believe if you set Enabled="false" it does. If it does not, then the only way to do that is put both a HyperLink and Label in the cell, and show the link when appropriate, and the label when appropriate, hiding the other one (which can be easily done in RowDataBound event).
