c# gridview row click

Question

When i click on a row in my gridview, i want to go to a other page with the id i get from the database.

In my RowCreated event i have the following line:

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onClick", ClientScript.GetPostBackClientHyperlink(this.grdSearchResults, "Select$" + e.Row.RowIndex));

To prevent error messages i have this code:

protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        // .NET will refuse to accept "unknown" postbacks for security reasons. Because of this we have to register all possible callbacks
        // This must be done in Render, hence the override
        for (int i = 0; i < grdSearchResults.Rows.Count; i++)
        {
            Page.ClientScript.RegisterForEventValidation(new System.Web.UI.PostBackOptions(grdSearchResults, "Select$" + i.ToString()));
        }
        // Do the standard rendering stuff
        base.Render(writer);
    }

My question is, how can i give a row a unique id (from the DB) and when i click the row, another page is opened (like clicking on a href) and that page can read the id.

Thnx

Answer 1

Can your ID be related to the data item displayed in the gridview?

If so you can use e.Row.DataItem, and cast it to whatever type it is.

Answer 2

I have the solution.

This is what i have done:

if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
    e.Row.Attributes["onClick"] = "location.href='view.aspx?id=" + DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "id") + "'";
}

I have putted the preceding code in the RowDataBound event.

Answer 3

row click in grid view redirect to other page

    protected void gvSearch_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
             string abc = ((GridView)sender).DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
             e.Row.Attributes["onClick"] = "location.href='Default.aspx?id=" + abc + "'";
        }
    }

works absolutely fine

Answer 4

protected void gvSearch_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        string abc = ((GridView)sender).DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Value.ToString();
        e.Row.Attributes["onClick"] = "location.href='Default.aspx?id=" + abc + "'";    
    }
}

Answer 5

You can use the RowCommand event of the grid view for it. In your button/link where you wnat to set the click on, set the CommandName and CommandArgument, which you can accees at the EventArgs paramter of the event method.
