Datagrid OnDeleteCommand

[CalSun]

I have a datagrid with a templatecolumn where I have the Delete linkbuttons.
As I click on the Del linkbutton, it calls the delete_func. However, I can't
get the value of the cell to use it as a key in sql_delete statement.

Here is my delete buttons
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Del/Add" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign=Center
FooterStyle-HorizontalAlign=Center>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton id="btndelete" Runat=server Text="Del"
CommandName="cmdDelete" ForeColor=red>Del</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
<FooterTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton id="btnAdd" runat="server" CommandName="cmdAddRow"
ForeColor=navy>Add</asp:LinkButton>
</FooterTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

In the delete function:
public void grid_DelAdd(Object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "cmdDelete")
{
e.Item.ItemIndex ---> this reflect the correct index on the
current datagrid
string = (string) e.Item.Cells[2].Text; ---> return an
empty string, even the field (cell) is with some data
...
}

Thanks in advance.

Hi Cal,

Could you show your whole datagrid html code?

Thanks Wang. I figured out my problem. I used controlfinder and casted the
control accordingly.

That's right. Unless you use BoundColumn, you should use e.Item.FindControl
to locate requied control.

the down side is taking time to name all the controls.
