Get URL Link from other column

the picture shows the datagrid that is already bound to
the database.

the problem is:

when I click the link, the button cloumn item should
return the thread id from the thread id column.

when I click the link, the controls fires the
<b>'DataGrid_ItemCommand'</b> event.

from there I can read the index from the item and/or
its command name.

but this doesn't help. I need the name from the thread id
column.

any ideas? thx!

I'm not sure if this will answer you question but here is a sample Datagrild ItemCommand Rountine I use:

VB Code:

Private Sub dgTerms_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgTerms.ItemCommand
 
    Select Case e.CommandSource.text
      Case "Delete"
 
        Dim cn As ADODB.Connection
        Dim sSQL As String
 
        sSQL = "DELETE From tblBaseRent Where ID = " & e.Item.Cells(10).Text
 
        cn = New ADODB.Connection()
        cn.Open(Session("CN"))
        cn.Execute(sSQL)
        cn.Close()
        BindData()
 
 
    End Select
 
  End Sub
