How can I capture DataGrid Cell value?

[Naci]

Hi,

I have a DataGrid and there is a Delete button. When I press the Delete button, I want to capture 4th cell value from the data grid and use it, but no value is returned. What do you think my problem?

Button is defined as:
<asp:ButtonColumn Text="Delete" CommandName="Delete"></asp:ButtonColumn>


Private Sub dgConsultants_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgConsultants.ItemCommand

Dim item As String = e.Item.Cells(4).Text

End Sub

loop through and find the control as
If e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(index).GetType = Then..... System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinlButton???
e.Item.Cells(4).Controls(index).Text

I have never done this or I would give a better example

First, make sure the ItemCommand event is actually firing.

Write a simple string to the page to test:

Private Sub dgConsultants_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgConsultants.ItemCommand

    Response.Write("ItemCommand")

End Sub

If that is working then loop through all the cells printing them out:

Private Sub dgConsultants_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dgConsultants.ItemCommand

        For i As Integer = 0 To e.Item.Cells.Count - 1
            Response.Write("Cell " + i.ToString() + " = " + e.Item.Cells(i).Text + "<BR>")
        Next

End Sub

Then you know what cell index you need.
