aligning datagrid with datasource

[Jan Limpens]

hi folks,

which is the best way to get to the datasource/row via a bound datagrid?

my datagrid is bound to a dataview.
when i select a button in the grid i want easy access to the
corresponding datarowview in the dataview.

until now my best bet is to get the datakey from the
datagrid.SelectedItem, sort my view by the key´s field and then use
dataview.Find() to get the row. but thats horribly cubersome and sorts
my view in a way i do not like it to be sorted!

i am very sure there must be a much better method which i haven't found
yet - please tell me :)

thanks
jj

Hi Jan,
it seems you need to use the
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs parameter passed to the
event handler: it has an Item property which in turn has a DataItem property
that references the DataRowView you need to access.

Hope it helps,
Luca
