[RESOLVED] GridView - How to refer to the row that is updating

Hi,

I'm facing the following issue:
I have a gridview that allows updating. I only want to show the relevant fields to the user. As a result I hide the ID field of the records. But I need this value as a parameter for my update command.
Apparently the value is always passed as 0 when the field is set invisible. When the field is set visible, the right value is passed.
I know it is possible to refer to a selected row and its controls, to get their values, even for invisible fields. This is what I want to do when the row is updating, in order to get the ID value of the label control which holds the ID value.
How do I refer to the row that is updating? I experienced that the row is not considered 'selected', so the SelectedRow property of the gridview does not do the trick.

Tnx

Hey,

Can you show the code that you are using? Both the markup and the server side code?

Have you set the DataKeyNames property of the GridView?

Great... exactly what I was looking for...

C# Code:

Label s_lblID = (Label)GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].FindControl("lblID");

Now I can get the value from s_lblID.text
It was e.RowIndex I needed... so simple... :thumb:

Tnx

you are welcome.... ;)
