How to redirect to another url when Edit (option in gridview) is clicked?

[Ewan]

Hi

Im using Visual Studio 2008, i have a gridview which gets data from an SQL table. I have added the Edit option which is part of gridview.
The data has a primary key set.

How do i redirect to another URL when the edit option is clicked.
This action should also assign the primary key as a URL Parameter, causing only that specific record to show on the Edit page.

I have gone through this article: http://bytes.com/topic/asp-net/answe...field-gridview
However im not able to understand how to do this.

For information:
To add the edit button i have done the following:

In GridView tasks go to:
Edit Columns>Availab le Fields:>Command Field>Edit,Upda te,Cancel
select Add

This will display an edit button for each row on the GridView

:( UNFORTUNATELY - when i click on Edit it takes the value from the selected Row,
so if i select the 2nd Row and click on edit for the 4th Row, i get the value for the 2nd Row and not the 4th.
how do i select a row automatically when Edit option for that corresponsing row is clicked.
Please help

i have updated the following in the Code Behind for the RowEditing event.
it works just fine :)

 
Private Sub gridview1_RowEditing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewEditEventArgs) Handles gridview1.RowEditing
        Session("wr_id") = gridview1.Rows(e.NewEditIndex).Cells(2).Text
        Response.Redirect("EditRecord.aspx")
    End Sub

what im doing here is moving the required data from the gridview into a Session
(please refer to Article: http://bytes.com/topic/asp-net/insig...ween-web-pages on how to pass parameters using sessions)
and then redirecting to the page where i need that required parameter to be displayed :).
(You should have already updated the code behind to show the data captured in the session)
Example: I updated the code behind for the EditRecord.aspx .vb as below

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Dim ID As String = Session("wr_id")

        lblReq.Text = "The parameter you have just transfered is " + ID

    End Sub
