Question

User-1131359042 posted

I have a grid view which has a column called name and a column which consists of link buttons which hyperlinks to a new form. Now I want this name parameter in a label which is in the new form. I'm using Sessions to do that but the problem is, every time, only the first row get's selected. But I want the name from the row corresponding to that of the hyperlink button which the user clicks on.

Hi,

You can do this in many way but one simple way i am putting here:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID" HeaderStyle-Wrap="false">
  <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkRequestID" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("RequestID") %>'
    OnCommand="lnkRequestID_Click" Text='<%# Eval("RequestID") %>' on> </asp:LinkButton>
  </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

protected void lnkRequestID_Click(object sender, CommandEventArgs e)
{
     Session["ABC"] = gv.SelectedDataKey.Value;
}

Hope it helps you. If yes please mark as answer.
