[nasirmajor]

dear all,
i have a datagrid with checkboxes for selection of rows. and want to
get unique id/ids(job_code) from the selected rows in array etc.
can anyone help.


<asp:datagrid id="dgResults" runat="server" DataKeyField="job_code">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemStyle Width="30px"></ItemStyle>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="chkCol" Runat="server">

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>

private void imgSubmit_Click(object sender,
System.Web.UI.ImageClickEventArgs e)
{
int a = 0;
DataGridItemCollection items=dgResults.Items;
for (int i=0; i<items.Count; i++)
{
CheckBox cb= (CheckBox)items.FindControl("chkCol");
if ((cb != null) && cb.Checked)
{
a += 1;
// need to get IDs from datagrid for the rows which are
selected with checkbox


}
}
}

thanks in advance

first off all, you forgot to paste the rest of the code, cause you are
calling for imgSubmit_Click and inside the DataGrid there's no imgSubmit
object :-/


add to the image tag
CommandName='<%# Eval("job_code") %>'
CommandArgument='<%# Eval("job_code") %>'
OnCommand="imgSubmit_Command"

and add the Protected Sub img_Command(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.CommandEventArgs)
inside you can use e.CommandArgument to get the job_code for that line. And
do the procedure in onCommand instead onClick

Dear Bruno,
there is no image tag its simply a button, while copy pasting i did'nt
changed its name
you can re see my code and can help me again thank you again in
advance.

protected void btnapplyto_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int a = 0;
DataGridItemCollection items = l.Items;
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++)
{
CheckBox cb2 = (CheckBox)items.FindControl("cb");
if ((cb2 != null) && cb2.Checked)
{

// need to get ID from 1st datagrid column for this
checkbox

}
a += 1;
}

so you have 2 Datagrids!!!

you never mention that before


because you are not firing any event in the DG that has the checkboxes, you
need to run all of them and what you can do is have the VALUE of the
checkbox bind to the ID of the ROW...

so, whenever you get a checked Checkbox you just see it's value and you have
the row ID

because Checkboxes don't have Value property you can convert it to a
CheckboxList with 1 ListItem, and that you have the value property that you
can use.

 

[Bruno Alexandre]

do you really need the checkboxes be in a different DG? can't you just have
1 CheckboxList with all of them? you can provide a DataSource to a CBL...

Dear Bruno,
again disturbing
there is only one datagrid

protected void btnapplyto_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int a = 0;
DataGridItemCollection items = l.Items;
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++)
{
CheckBox cb2 = (CheckBox)items.FindControl("cb");
if ((cb2 != null) && cb2.Checked)
{

// need to get ID from datagrid column for this
checkbox

}
a += 1;
}
