Hi KF,
thanks for posting and sharing us the information.
I haven't an account on thet
www.experts-exchange.com/ so that I cannot see
that implementation. Here are some of my thoughts on this for your
information:
1. Use a TemplateField as an additional column in the GridView and put
Email TextBox and Button in that Templatefield's ItemTemplate. e.g.
===============
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnSendEmail" runat="server"
Text="SendTo: "
CommandName="Send" CommandArgument='<%#
((GridViewRow)Container).RowIndex %>' />
<asp:TextBox ID="txtEmail"
runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
===============
2. We need to set CommandName and CommandArgument properties for the Button
in template. So that we can reference it in the Gridview's RowCommand event
later. Register the "RowCommand" event of GridView.
3. Here we add the code in "Rowcommand" event. We first ensure that the
CommandName is "Send", and then, get RowIndex from CommandArgument.
And Find controls from the GridViewRow and do the email sending stuff ...
=====================
protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender,
GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if(e.CommandName=="Send")
{
int rowindex = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[rowindex];
Response.Write("<br/>Row: " + rowindex);
TextBox txt = row.FindControl("txtEmail") as TextBox;
Response.Write("<br/>Will send email to " + txt.Text);
}
}
============================
Hope this also helps.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng

How would I do this in a GridView? I imagine I'd build it using an
ItemTemplate. But I'm fuzzy on how to make the UI elements repeatable,
how
>to determine which row has been invoked, and how to grab the necessary
information out of the dynamically rendered/named UI elements or
otherwise
