Hi All,

Need your help again!

I have created a gridview in asp.net web application in vb.
I have converted one column into Link button to use the click event and send user to another page with selected criteria.

The problem is that i am unable to get the text of the selected cell text to create the variable used in new page.

I have tried selected row and row.index including many other options but not received the value yet. Please guide.

Thanks in advance

debugged further: the selected row value is nothing. And their is no option of currentrow in grid view.

XML

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Sub Item Name" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" ControlStyle-Width="200" >
                <ItemTemplate>
                 <asp:LinkButton ID="lblSubItemName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("SubItemName")%>' OnClick="lblSubItemName_Click">
                   </asp:LinkButton>
               </ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

in vb.net

ItemName = TryCast(gdBOM.SelectedRow.FindControl("lblSubItemName"), LinkButton).Text

Use the solution described at Getting selected row of aspgridview when click on link button to get hidden ID value[^].

Quote:
The problem is that when you click a button in a GridView, the row will only be a Clicked Row and not a SelectedRow. If you wanna make it the SelectedRow you have to specify CommandName="Select" in the Button's markup.

Can u pls help to convert this c# code to vb:
GridViewRow clickedRow = ((LinkButton) sender).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;

Converted CODE in VB would be...

Dim clickedRow As GridViewRow = TryCast(DirectCast(sender, LinkButton).NamingContainer, GridViewRow)
Dim lblID As Label = DirectCast(clickedRow.FindControl("lblID"), Label)
