Get cell string value from datagrid

[Niclas Lindblom]

Hi,

I have a datagrid with 2 columns. 1 is a bound column and the other one is a
button column configured as a link button. When I click the link button, the
ItemCommand Event fires as it is supposed to. I am able to get the value
from the first column using

e.item.cells(0) .text

but I need to get the string value from the link button that was clicked, So
obviously I thought I would get that from

e.item.cells(1) .text

But this always returns a empty string....

Am I doing something wrong, or is there another way I can get this value ?
Regards

Niclas,

In your ItemCommand procedure, do this:

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Respond to item being clicked
Dim btn As LinkButton = CType(e.Command Source, LinkButton)

Select Case btn.Text
Case "Details"

....etc...

End Select
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
