How to get data from parent datagrid item from child datagrid dataitem

[Skowronek]

What is the best method to obtain a data value from a parent datagriditem
from a child datagrid - datagrid footer item command event handler?

Here is the layout of my asp.net controls

<datagrid1>
<datagriditem1>
<datagrid2>
<datagridfooter>
<listbox><commandbutton>
</datagridfooter>
</datagrid2>
</datagriditem1>
<datagrid1>

So, the listbox has the child data value ID and the commanditem calls the
insert command. I need to be able to get the parentID from the datagriditem1
in order to associate the child ID with the parentID. I've looked at event
bubbling, but that requires a custom control. How else can I pull the
parentID out of the datagriditem1.

Please email xilord at yahoo dot com if you have a splendid solution.
TIA

I'm wondering if there is a better group to post this question???

Although there's good datagrid experts here,
maybe posting your question for the datagrid control at :
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.datagridcontrol
would get you more help.

I haven't checked whether your answer is in Scott Mitchell's
marathonic ( 18 parts, so far ) Datagrid Control articles :
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/040502-1.aspx
but you should probably read and bookmark that, too.

I ended up just setting a string value ondatabind for each parent item. This
appeared to work well.

Thanks for the reply.
