Datagrid - reading the cell content

Hi,

I have a datagrid which binds to a datareader

dgXXXXX.DataSou rce = rdr;
dgXXXXX.DataBin d();

On dgXXXXX_EditCom mand I can read the value of the selected row(
e.Item.ItemInde x) which works. How can I read the contents of that cell. I
have the following code which doesn't work.
dgXXXXX.EditIte mIndex = e.Item.ItemInde x;

Filename = dgXXXXX.Items[e.Item.ItemInde x].Cells[2].Text;

Response.Write( "Filename:" + Filename);

Can't I grab a cell content of a datagrid?
Thank you
Maziar A.

Once you've identified the cell you want, you need to identify the control
that is in that cell that holds the data. The cell most likely contains a
label and it is the label that contains the text. Try:

e.Item.ItemInde x.Cells[2].FindControl[controlName].Text

Maziar:
It might be easier if you put the value in a hidden form field <input
type="hidden" id="filename" runat="Server" value='<%#
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "filename") %>' /> and use
e.Item.FindCont rol("filename") to get a reference to field in onEditCommand.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
