Buttons in Datagrids

[Brian Conway]

Anyone know if it is possible to have a button inside a datagird that will
launch a new window? I have a button on my webform that does this currently
and it works fine. I took that code and put a button into the datagrid
template and wanted it to do the same thing per line and pass that line
information into the window it launches, however, it is not working. so far
the only code I have on the button is below and it doesn't work.

private void DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs
e)

{

string sUrl = "ChangeForm.aspx";

string sFeatures = "'height=320;width=160;left=100;top=50;'";

string sScript;

sScript = "<script language=javascript>" +

"window.open('" + sUrl + "',''," + sFeatures + ");"+

"</script>";

// Write it into the output stream for immediate execution

Response.Write(sScript);

}

Hi Brian
look at this example
<asp:datagrid DataKeyField="DiscId" id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 110;
LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 408px"
runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="8"
BorderWidth="2px" BorderColor="Yellow">
<HeaderStyle ForeColor="White" BackColor="Indigo"></HeaderStyle>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="DiscId" HeaderText="ID">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" ForeColor="White"
BackColor="Purple"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="FloatDiscNumber" SortExpression="DES"
HeaderText="FloatNumber">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="PackDescription" HeaderText="Catagory">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="ShipmentName" HeaderText="Issue Date">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="LabelText" HeaderText="DVD Content">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="Color" HeaderText="Color">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="DiscImageFile" HeaderText="Image">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center"></ItemStyle>
</asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:ButtonColumn Text="Book" ButtonType="PushButton"
HeaderText="Reserve" CommandName="reserve">
<ItemStyle BackColor="Purple"></ItemStyle>
</asp:ButtonColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="DVD View">
<ItemStyle BackColor="Purple"></ItemStyle>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button runat="server" Text="Details" CommandName="opencontent"
CausesValidation="false"></asp:Button>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>
Then you can code the events as so
private void DataGrid1_ItemCommand(object source,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
if(e.CommandName.Equals("reserve"))
{
//code to handle event of that button
}
else
{
// code to handle the other
}
}
