DataGrid ItemCommand???

[Syed Sami R. Shah]

hi all,
i am having problem with using itemcommand of datagrid by way of asp:image
button.
i have put an image button in a datagrid item template and have set
CommandName="De leteRecord" and have coded a switch to handle the event.
I have done this vb.net and it works fine..put in c# i can not catch the
item command..i stepped into code
via debug mode.. its just doest enter the dgrCaseType_Ite mCommand...
I AM TOTALLY CLULESS.....WHA T AM I MISSING...
PLZ see code below.........

<asp:DataGrid ID="dgrCaseType " Runat="server" AutoGenerateCol umns="False"
Width="100%" BorderWidth="2"
BorderColor="#f fffff" HeaderStyle-HorizontalAlign ="Center"
AllowSorting="T rue" EnableViewState ="True">
<AlternatingIte mStyle CssClass="bg-ltgray"></AlternatingItem Style>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColum n HeaderText="Def ault Owner"
HeaderStyle-CssClass="menu_ gray" DataField="CSPe rsonnell"
HeaderStyle-Width="150"></asp:BoundColumn >
<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderStyle-CssClass="menu_ gray"
HeaderStyle-Width="150" HeaderText="Opt ions"
ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign ="Center">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:ImageButto n ID="imgEdit" CommandName="Ed itRecord"
ImageUrl="../../Images/icon_edit.gif"
AlternateText=" Edit" Runat="server"
Height="16" Width="16"
EnableViewState ="False"></asp:ImageButton >

<asp:ImageButto n ID="imgDelete" CommandName="De leteRecord"
ImageUrl="../../Images/icon_trash.gif"
AlternateText=" Delete" Runat="server"
Height="16" Width="16"
EnableViewState ="False"></asp:ImageButton >
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>

</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>

Then I have coded the following:

protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data Grid dgrCaseType;

protected void dgrCaseType_Ite mCommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridCommandEven tArgs e)
{
switch(e.Comman dName)
{
case "EditRecord ":
string s=e.Item.Cells[7].Text;
break;
case "DeleteReco rd":

break;
}
}

private void InitializeCompo nent()
{
this.Load += new System.EventHan dler(this.Page_ Load);
this.dgrCaseTyp e.ItemDataBound += new
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Data GridItemEventHa ndler(this.dgrC aseType_ItemDat aBound);
}

Thanks in advance..
-Sami.

You need to wire the event handler for the DataGrid's ItemCommand event? Do
yiou have it done in code-behind in InitializeCompo nent method? (It looks
like dgrCaseType.Ite mCommand += new
DataGridCommand EventHandler(me thod_name);..., which seems to be missing
there)

If you don't have it code-behind, you can wiree it on aspx on DataGrid's
declaration:

.... OnItemCommand=" dgrCaseType_Ite mCommand" ...

or make up similar wiring in InitializeCompo nent as for other events.

first off, you aren't hooking up the ItemCommand event...you are hooking up
the ItemDataBound however...you need this:

this.dgrCaseTyp e.ItemCommand+= new
DataGridCommand EventHandler(dg rCaseType_ItemC ommand);

in your InitializeCompo nent (or page_load).
Secondly, assuming you have the above, you also need to make sure that you
aren't rebinding on postback, if so you'll lose ur event...
