ASP.NET C# Datagrid button column event

[chathura86]

I have a datagrid and I used a template column with an asp:button on it and I want to respond to a button click and find which row was selected. How would I do this?

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText=" " ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="btnAddToCart" Text="Add to cart" runat="server" />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
 

Thank you,

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText=" " ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnAddToCart" Text="Add to cart" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Add a CommandArgument and a CommandName to your button. Then in the ItemCommand event of your datagrid check for the value of e.CommandName.

if(e.Item.ItemType != ListItemType.Header && e.Item.Type != ListItemType.Pager)
{
if(e.CommandName == "YourCommandName")
{
//do something here. You can use the e.CommandArgument value. I usually set this value to the DB identity column so I can access a specific row in the DB to delete or update 
}
}
