Hi all!

I would like some help for getting a value out of a selected row of a datagrid.

To do this i used the following code but it returns an empty string
(DG is my datagrid)

string val = DG.SelectedItem.Cells[1].Text;
Response.Write("*"+val+");

The rouput of this its: **
although there is a value on the cell.
The datagrid is created and filled in the Page_Load when !Page.IsPostBack and the above code is called when a button is pressed.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Best regards

George

Cells are zero baseed so the first cell is Cell[0]. Cell[1] is the second column. Maybe that's your issue?

No unfortunately its not this. I have tried to display something using all the indexes but it doesn work.
In the select event I have also tried using:
e.Item.Cells[1].Text; and yet again its displayed empy.
Any ideas?

Best regardes,

George

I found the solution:


string val = ((Label)DG.SelectedItem.Cells[1].FindControl("id")).Text;

here is how.

this is the event function

privatevoid Select_myDataGrid(object source, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
lblLabel.Text = e.Item.Cells[1].Text;

}
e.Item.Cells[1].Text;

it tested it and it worked like a charm.
