[Resolved] [2005] gridview button click, what button was clicked?

[DemonMade]

I have a grid view with a Template Field, witch contains a button and a text box. What I need to know is either the row that contains the button that was clicked, or more specifically, the contents of the first column of the row that contains the button that was clicked. I would like to do this without needing the user to "select" the row, so gridview.selectedrow...

Any Ideas?

The gridview_command event will not have any row information with it so you have to set the buttons command argument to the row index or some value you want. To set it to the row index do it in the rowdatabound event using findcontrol to locate the button

sub gv_rowdatbound(...........
        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
            CType(e.Row.Cells(4).FindControl("btnID"), Button).CommandArgument = e.Row.RowIndex
        End If
end sub


sub gv_rowcommand(.....

Dim myValue As String = GridView1.Rows(e.CommandArgument).Cells(0).Text

end sub

Awsome! That seems to do it and you put it in very easy to understand terms. Thank you very much.

My pleasure, the same thing left me wondering why and looking for answers.
