Problem in data grid in ASP.Net 2003

[ShoaibAta]

Hi Everyone,

I have two fields in data grid i.e. ID and DESCRIPTION. Description field is a link button and ID field is hidden. I want that when I click on description field then another page should be open on the basis of ID field value. How can I get the value of ID field in query string. Keep in mind that ID is a hidden field. Can anyone solve my problem

I think the easiest way to accomplish this would be to use the CommandName and CommandArgument properties of the LinkButton.

[HTML]<asp:LinkButt on ID="lnkButton" Runat="server" CommandArgument ='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container,"Dat aItem.ID")%>' CommandName="De tails"></asp:LinkButton> [/HTML]

Then in the ItemCommand event of your datagrid you can check the value of e.CommandName and then open the page you want with a querystring value = to e.CommandArgume nt

public void DataGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
		{
			if(e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Header && e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Pager)
			{
				if(e.CommandName == "Details")
				{
					Response.Redirect("NewPage.aspx?value=" + e.CommandArgument);
				}
			}			
		}
