DataGrid question

[brock wade]

I have a Datagrid that is working fine displying my records, but I'm
trying to program buttons
on each record line to launch another web page that shows all the
details for the product:

<asp:datagrid id="dgProducts " runat="server">
<asp:ButtonColu mn Text="Details" CommandName="De tails"
ButtonType="Pus hButton"></asp:ButtonColum n>
</asp:datagrid>

Should I go to my code-behind to do something like this?:

Sub detailsClicked( ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
DataGridCommand EventArgs)
Response.Redire ct("www.mysite. com\details.asp x")
End Sub

If so how can I pass the chosen record's key information into the new
page to pickup the details?

RE: DataGrid question

You can do it that way and bind the key you need to display details to the
EventArgument.
you can just add a hyperlink to the datagrind and bind the key to the url
similar to
above.
Or if you want to get creative you can set the post back url on the button
to your detail page. just be careful of circular references. (i can give you
an artical if you want to know how to do that)

In the Itemdatabound event you'll want to set the button's
commandargument to the chosen record's key.
Also set the button's commandname to something like "redirect" or
something that associates that commandname with the event you're
firing.

You're going to capture the button's click event in the OnItemCommand
event of the datagrid. Make a simple select case statement that
checks the command name's property of the button - inside that
statement you'll check the commandarguemen t to get the value.

here's an example:

protected void ItemDataBound(o bject sender, DataGridItemEve ntArgs e)
{
if (e.Item.ItemTyp e== ListItemType.It em || e.Item.ItemType ==
ListItemType.Al ternatingItem)
{
DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)e. Item.DataItem;
ImageButton btn =
(ImageButton)e. Item.FindContro l("myImageButto n");
btn.CommandName = "MyCommandName" ;
btn.CommandArgu ement = drv["ID"].ToString();
}
}

then the itemcommand will look like this:

protected void ItemCommand(obj ect source,
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridCommandEven tArgs e)
{
switch(e.Comman dName)
{
default:
break;
case "MyCommandName" :
Response.Redire ct("www.mysite. com\" +
e.CommandArguem ent)
break;
}
}

heh well I could translate it to vb.net for you but honestly there
isnt much difference. The concepts are exactly the same - the
difference is merely syntactical.

If you're having a problem deciphering c# you can just copy and paste
it into a c#/vb.net translator - there's a handful of them on the web.

Re: DataGrid question

if it's a simple key you should be able to bind it directly without going to
the event.
Use the designer and bind the key by selecting the button and selection the
data item you want.

Re: DataGrid question

Thanks for the translator tip - I'm a newbi in ASP.net so I've got a
lot to learn. I got the basic translation to place into my code-
behind. I do have a few questions to make sure I'm following the logic
here. For one thing the compiler does not like the "e.CommandArgum ent"
even though Intellisense lists it as a choice "Option Strict On
disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Object' to Boolean'. I'm
assuming the "Response.Redir ect("c:\inetpub \wwwroot\HR_Rep ortingTool
\HR_ReportingTo olClient_1\Deta ils.aspx"" +", e.CommandArgume nt)" is
basically correct for the redirect since my application itself resides
at "c:\inetpub\www root\HR_Reporti ngTool\HR_Repor tingToolClient_ 1".
Plus I hope I'm referencing the Button name correctly between the code-
behind and the html as "Details":

difference is merely syntactical.

Re: DataGrid question

Sould I be binding the actual DataGrid to the DataSource using "Simple
Binding" which gives me the Option of "Page"? If so or not how do I
launch then my Details.aspx and pickup the fileds on that screen which
correspond to the reocord chosen by the button specific to the
datarow?
Thanks!

if it's a simple key you should be able to bind it directly without going to
the event.
Use the designer and bind the key by selecting the button and selection the
data item you want.

I have a Datagrid that is working fine displying my records, but I'm
trying to program buttons
on each record line to launch another web page that shows all the

Should I go to my code-behind to do something like this?:

If so how can I pass the chosen record's key information into the new
page to pickup the details?

In the Itemdatabound event you'll want to set the button's
commandargument to the chosen record's key.
Also set the button's commandname to something like "redirect" or
something that associates that commandname with the event you're
firing.

You're going to capture the button's click event in the OnItemCommand
event of the datagrid.  Make a simple select case statement that
checks the command name's property of the button - inside that
statement you'll check the commandarguemen t to get the value.

here's an example:

         DataRowView drv = (DataRowView)e. Item.DataItem;
         ImageButton btn =
(ImageButton)e. Item.FindContro l("myImageButto n");
         btn.CommandName = "MyCommandName" ;
         btn.CommandArgu ement = drv["ID"].ToString();
     }
}

then the itemcommand will look like this:

              Response.Redire ct("www.mysite. com\" +
e.CommandArguem ent)
              break;
