Simple question

[Gary]

Hi,
I have 7 columns on my datagrid, out of which one column (Column No 1) is
hidden (which is containing User ID), and the Column No 3 is displaying user
Name.
Now I have given hyperlink on Column no 3 (i.e User Name) & I want to pick
up the data from Column no 1 (i.e User ID) when I click the hyperlink.

Please let me know how this can be done.

TIA,
Gary

are you using the SelectedIndexChanged event? try something like this (C#):

int userID = (int) myDataGrid.DataKeys[myDataGrid.SelectedIndex];

This assumes you have set the DataKeyField property of your grid. Think of
DataKeys as your collection of IDs, one ID per row.

How does your HyperlinkColumn look like
In case its
<asp:HyperLinkColumn HeaderText="UserName" DataNavigateUrlField="ID"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="link.aspx?ID={0}"
DataTextField="UserName"></asp:HyperLinkColumn>
</Columns>

You can give the DataNavigateURL Field as Column 1 and DataTextField as column 3
In case of retrieving it you can use
Request.QueryString("ID")
