ASP.NET Datagrid filling textboxes

[Aaron]

I am currently filling textboxes with the data from a datagrid with the
following code:
Sub Fillnextrecord(ByVal e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)

Dim Cell1 As String = e.Item.Cells(1).Text.ToString
Dim Cell2 As String = e.Item.Cells(2).Text.ToString
Dim Cell3 As String = e.Item.Cells(3).Text.ToString
Dim Cell4 As String = e.Item.Cells(4).Text.ToString
Dim Cell5 As String = e.Item.Cells(5).Text.ToString
Dim Cell6 As String = e.Item.Cells(6).Text.ToString
Dim Cell7 As String = e.Item.Cells(7).Text.ToString
Dim Cell8 As String = e.Item.Cells(8).Text.ToString
Dim Cell9 As String = e.Item.Cells(9).Text.ToString
Dim Cell10 As String = e.Item.Cells(10).Text.ToString
Dim Cell11 As String = e.Item.Cells(11).Text.ToString

the grid is blank, then run function to count three businessdays
txtFollowUpDate.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black()
txtFollowUpDate.Text = FormatDateTime
(WebBizDev.Utilities.BusinessDateAdd(FormatDateTime(Now,
DateFormat.ShortDate), 3), DateFormat.ShortDate)
Else
Dim FUDate As Date = e.Item.Cells(11).Text
If FUDate < FormatDateTime(Now, DateFormat.ShortDate) Then
'ASPNET_MsgBox("The Follow Up Date has expired.")
txtFollowUpDate.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red()

End If




This is used to fill textboxes for editing the data. Once the data has
been modified, the user hits the "Update Record" button and the changes
are commited to the database.

I need to be able to move to the next record, or row in the datagrid. I
know the e is the datagrideventarg, and that is about it. I have tried e
+1 but that doesn't work.

Could anyone show me how to move to the next record? I am sure this is
not the best way to fill those textboxes, but it is the only way I found
to do it. Perhaps if there is a better approach, you could show me that
and how I would be able to move to the next row or record.

Thanks,
Aaron

First off, yeah I think there are much better ways to do what you are doing, but I don't know what you are doing that you need to go to the next record..?

Second, there is no "next record", at least available from the EventArgs (e). If you need to get to other values that were stored in the datagrid, you'll have to access them via

myDataGrid.Items(rowNumber).cells(0..1..2..3..)

Hope this helps,

First off, yeah I think there are much better ways to do what you are

doing, but I don't know what you are doing that you need to go to the
next record..?

Basically, the user updates a record and then needs to move to the next
record for editing. They would like to do this with one click of the
"Update Button". (Update the current row, then move to the next one, and
populate the text boxes for editing)

Second, there is no "next record", at least available from the
EventArgs (e). If you need to get to other values that were stored in
the datagrid, you'll have to access them via

myDataGrid.Items(rowNumber).cells(0..1..2..3..)

Hope this helps,

Yes, this does help a lot. Thanks.
