Populate Session Variables from Datagrid for a specific cell

[coleenholley]

I need to know how to get a specific row/cell of data to post as a session variable - like I would with an ASP.Net table:

Dim ld_sum_tot_cty_tax As Doubl
Session("wa_tot_gal") = tbl_worksheet1.Rows(16).Cells(3).Text(

I am using VB.Net as the code behind, and populating the datagrid dynamically in a VB.Net Class Module - I am NOT connecting to an SQL database, but I do use the databind function

dtg_worksheet1.DataSource = lo_AZRM005A.get_dt_worksheet
dtg_worksheet1.DataBind(

How can I do this programmatically with the datagrid? Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Coleen

Every row of data which is bound to the grid fires the itemdatabound event.
So in its handler, you can take the appropriate action. Consider
Session["row"] = e.item.cells[0].text will store the first colum of the row

Thanks - that helps, but I need to get the value from a Specific row - the data returned will ALWAYS have 17 rows - it will return one row for each County in Nevada, and there are 17 Counties. I specifically need to get the value from row (county) 16 for a session variable. Using Session["row"] = e.item.cells[7].text will store the seventh colum of the which row? How do I tell it to specifically get row 16? I REALLY need to have the functionality of Row(16).Cell(7); it is imperitive to the application we are building...any suggestions on getting the exact row number? Thanks for your help. Coleen

off the top of my head, if i didn't have the dataset already cached, i'd
collect each row and stack it into an array list. Then push that array list
into session.

Remind me again why you need to have this in a session variable (i've lost
the original thread)? It would seem to me that if you cache the entire
dataset, or datatable, then you could easily retrieve the dataset and access
the value directly. Consider:

DataSet ds = Session["Data"] as DataSet;
if(ds != null && ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 16)
value = ds.Tables[0].Rows[16][7].ToString();

Ofcourse, it is more memory efficient to cache a datatable or to stack just
the rows in an arraylist.
