getting value of server control

[bushi]

hi !
i have following code to display some text on a web form,after
getting it from database.

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="links" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("links") %>' OnClick="LinkButton1_Click"></asp:LinkButton><br />

<asp:Label ID="textLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("text") %>' ForeColor="DarkSlateBlue"></asp:Label><br />

<asp:Label ID="urlsLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("urls") %>' ForeColor="DarkSeaGreen"></asp:Label><br />

<asp:HiddenField ID="page" runat="server" Value='<%#
Eval("page_ref") %>'></asp:HiddenField><br />
<br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>

and i want to access the value of hiddenfield in my aspx.cs file for
some manipulation.for this purpose i'm using the following code:
for(i=0;i<DataList1.items.count;i++)
{
HiddenField hd = (HiddenField)DataList1.Items[2].FindControl("page");
string s = (hd.Value) as string;
}

its giving me the whole record of datalist.but i want to get only the
selected item against my record.
any one have idea about it,plz rply me.

Good morning Bushi,

Take a look at your code again. You're looping through the items accessing
third item (Item[2]) ein every iteration. In addition to that, there is no
need for that as datalist has a property to check which item is currently
selected, it should be as following:

int index = DataList1.SelectedIndex;
string value = String.Empty;

if (index >= 0)
{
HiddenField hidden = (HiddenField)
DataList1.Items[index].FindControl("page");
value = hidden.Value;
}

Howdy,

There is no need to use hidden fields for this purpose. Use DataKeyFields
property to specify which column should be used as row identificator and get
its value via SelectedValue property and SelectedIndexChanged event:

<script runat="server">
protected void DataList1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// i assumed page_ref type is string
DataList dataList = (DataList)sender;
string pagerRef = (string) dataList.SelectedValue;
// use the selected page ref value here...
}
</script>

<asp:DataList ID="DataList1" runat="server" DataKeyField="page_ref"
OnSelectedIndexChanged="DataList1_SelectedIndexCha nged">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton CommandName="Select" ID="links" runat="server" Text='<%#
Eval("links") %>' /><br />
<asp:Label ID="textLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("text") %>'
ForeColor="DarkSlateBlue" /><br />
<asp:Label ID="urlsLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("urls") %>'
ForeColor="DarkSeaGreen" /><br />
<br />
</ItemTemplate>
<SelectedItemStyle BackColor="red" />
</asp:DataList>

Hope this helps
