DataGrid hidden custom value

[Mike Gleason jr Couturier]

Hi,

I want to store the ID of the database row to each of the datagrid row...
(I don't want the ID to be visible.)

In other words, on the Row Command event, I want to be able to retreive the
database row id.

I tried with a datagrid column (visible = false) but it doesn't work

Any ideas!?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Maybe you can try to create an HiddenField somewhere in your page. This
field will contain the value of the database ID of the clicked row of the
datagrid...

For each button of you datagrid, you set a javascript on the OnClientClick
(or something) that will change the hidden field :
onclick="javascript:document.getElementById('hiddenfield').value =
'<rowdbid>';"

In onrowcommand, you can then access the database id of the clicked row..

That should do it

If you look up GridView.SelectedDataKey Property, that may be useful in
your
situation

Much cleaner/client compatible code... thanks!
