[c#] How to get row data by clicking a button in a row in an ASP.NET gridview

I have a GridView in a ASP.NET web application, in which I have added two buttons in each row:

 <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Button ID="btnEdit" Text="Edit" runat="server" />
    <asp:Button ID="btnDelete" Text="Delete" runat="server"/>
 </ItemTemplate>

Now how I can get the row data from gridview simply by clicking an edit button in a row?

This question is related to c# asp.net button gridview

The answer is


<ItemTemplate>
     <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" 
            OnClick="MyButtonClick" />
</ItemTemplate>

and your method

 protected void MyButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
     //Get the button that raised the event
Button btn = (Button)sender;

    //Get the row that contains this button
GridViewRow gvr = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
}

Place the commandName in .aspx page

 <asp:Button  ID="btnDelete" Text="Delete" runat="server" CssClass="CoolButtons" CommandName="DeleteData"/>

Subscribe the rowCommand event for the grid and you can try like this,

protected void grdBillingdata_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
        if (e.CommandName == "DeleteData")
        {
            GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((Button)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
            HiddenField hdnDataId = (HiddenField)row.FindControl("hdnDataId");
         }
}

<asp:TemplateField>
   <ItemTemplate>
  <asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="LnKB" Text='edit' OnClick="LnKB_Click"   > 
 </asp:LinkButton>
 </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

  protected void LnKB_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
        LinkButton lb = sender as LinkButton;

        GridViewRow clickedRow = ((LinkButton)sender).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
        int x = clickedRow.RowIndex;
        int id = Convert.ToInt32(yourgridviewname.Rows[x].Cells[0].Text);
        lbl.Text = yourgridviewname.Rows[x].Cells[2].Text; 
   }

 protected void btnS10_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridViewRow row in Grd.Rows)
        {
            CheckBox chk_Single = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("ChkSendOne");
            if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {
                string id = (row.Cells[0].FindControl("lblSNo") as Label).Text;
                if (Convert.ToInt32(id) <= 10)
                {
                   
                    chk_Single.Checked = true;
                    if (chk_Single.Checked == true)
                    {
                        lblSelectedRecord.InnerText = (Convert.ToInt32(lblSelectedRecord.InnerText) + 1).ToString();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

You can also use button click event like this:

<asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" 
                    OnClick="MyButtonClick" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
protected void MyButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    //Get the button that raised the event
    Button btn = (Button)sender;

    //Get the row that contains this button
    GridViewRow gvr = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
} 

OR

You can do like this to get data:

 void CustomersGridView_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
 {

    // If multiple ButtonField column fields are used, use the
    // CommandName property to determine which button was clicked.
    if(e.CommandName=="Select")
    {
      // Convert the row index stored in the CommandArgument
      // property to an Integer.
      int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);    

      // Get the last name of the selected author from the appropriate
      // cell in the GridView control.
      GridViewRow selectedRow = CustomersGridView.Rows[index];
    }
}

and Button in gridview should have command like this and handle rowcommand event:

<asp:gridview id="CustomersGridView" 
        datasourceid="CustomersSqlDataSource" 
        autogeneratecolumns="false"
        onrowcommand="CustomersGridView_RowCommand"
        runat="server">

        <columns>
          <asp:buttonfield buttontype="Button" 
            commandname="Select"
            headertext="Select Customer" 
            text="Select"/>
        </columns>
  </asp:gridview>

Is there any specific reason you would want your buttons in an item template.You can alternatively do it the following way , there by giving you the full power of the grid row editing event.You are also given a bonus of wiring easily the cancel and delete functionality.

Mark up

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit">
            <ItemTemplate>
   <asp:ImageButton ID="EditImageButton" runat="server" CommandName="Edit"
    ImageUrl="~/images/Edit.png" Style="height: 16px" ToolTip="Edit" 
    CausesValidation="False"  />

      </ItemTemplate>

         <EditItemTemplate>

                    <asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpdate" runat="server" CommandName="Update" 
                        Text="Update"  Visible="true" ImageUrl="~/images/saveHS.png" 
                        />
                   <asp:LinkButton ID="btnCancel" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel"   
                        ImageUrl="~/images/Edit_UndoHS.png"  />

                 <asp:LinkButton ID="btnDelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"   
                        ImageUrl="~/images/delete.png"  />

             </EditItemTemplate>


        <ControlStyle BackColor="Transparent" BorderStyle="None" />
               <FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
           <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
       </asp:TemplateField>

Code behind

 protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{

    GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
    GridView1.DataBind();

TextBox txtledName =   (TextBox) GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].FindControl("txtAccountName");

 //then do something with the retrieved textbox's text.

}

            <asp:Button  ID="btnEdit" Text="Edit" runat="server"  OnClick="btnEdit_Click" CssClass="CoolButtons"/>


protected void btnEdit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       Button btnEdit = (Button)sender;
       GridViewRow Grow = (GridViewRow)btnEdit.NamingContainer;
      TextBox txtledName = (TextBox)Grow.FindControl("txtAccountName");
      HyperLink HplnkDr = (HyperLink)Grow.FindControl("HplnkDr");
      TextBox txtnarration = (TextBox)Grow.FindControl("txtnarration");
     //Get the gridview Row Details
}

And Same As for Delete button
