Only if I could read in this value: brain fried

[eramgarden]

So, I have a datagrid, it displays the values, Everything is fine and dandy...

 

I select a row, Now, I just want the value in the first cell of whatever row I clicked:

 

I want that value because I want to pass it to another page...

 

What I have tried

Sub dg_edit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)

       dg.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex
      [b] Dim test1 = e.Item.FindControl("incid_id")
       Dim test2= e.Item.Cells(0).Text
       dim test3= e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0)[/b]


       Response.Redirect("test.aspx")

   End Sub
[/b]

 

None of those work..test1 gives me "NOTHING", test2 gives me BLANK and test3 Gives me , i think the whole table definition..

 

This is the HTML behind it

 

ItemTemplate>
						<table border="0">
							<tr>
								<td align="left">
									<b>IncidID:</b></td>
								<td >
									<%# Container.DataItem("incid_id") %>
								</td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
								<td align="left"><b>Status:</b></td>
								<td>
									<%# Container.DataItem("incid_status_desc") %>
								</td>
							</tr>
						</table>
					</ItemTemplate>
					<EditItemTemplate>
						<table border="0">
						  <tr>
								<td align="left"><b>Incid:</b></td>
								<td>
									[b]<asp:TextBox id="incid_id" Width="300px" Runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItem("incid_id")%>' MaxLength="50">
									</asp:TextBox>[/b]
								</td>
							</tr>
							<tr>
								<td align="left"><b>Last Name:</b></td>
								<td>
									<asp:TextBox id="lastname" Width="300px" Runat="server" Text='<%# Container.DataItem("incid_status_desc")%>' MaxLength="50">
									</asp:TextBox>
								</td>
							</tr>
							</table>
					</EditItemTemplate>		
				</asp:TemplateColumn>
				<asp:EditCommandColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" EditText="<img border=0 src=./Images/bullet.gif Alt='Select'>">
					<HeaderStyle Width="50px"></HeaderStyle>
				</asp:EditCommandColumn>

 

 

Any help to get me going would be great..this is the last part i need to do...

[cyclonebri]

you could try something like this:

 

strvalue = CType(e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0), TextBox).Text

 

or, you could just get the record from your dataset:

strvalue = m_myDS.Tables(0).Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item(0)

 

Good luck!

1.Howcome I get "object not set" error when I try

 

strvalue = CType(e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0), TextBox).Text

 

I do have textbox set in aspx file...

 

2. The second one works but I need to bind the datagrid to dataset and rebind...

 

I like to know why the first one didnt work..
