Grid

[Nice Chap]

I have a datagrid.
I am using a template with two fields : A label and a button.
At run time the datagrid contains around 10 rows.
All ten rows have a label and a button each, but ...

How do I figure out which button was clicked ? (which row )

I have noticed that VS does not create variables for the controls in the
template.

Please help.

Assuming you have the template column like this:
....
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button runat=server id=btnX Text="Click Me" onClick="ServerClick"
/>
</ItemTemplate>
....

In the code behind, have:

private void ServerClick (object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button target = (Button)sender; // Button that was clicked
DataGridItem dgi = (DataGridItem)(target.Parent.Parent); // Datagrid row
of that button
}

Note that you may have to traverse up more 'Parent's based on the level of
the button's nesting in the control hierarchy. Alternatively, you can loop
through all the grid rows and find the button:

In the ServerClick event:
....
DataGridItem x = null;
foreach (DataGridItem dgi in MyDataGrid.Items)
{
if (dgi.FindControl (target.ID) != null)
{
x = dgi;
break;
}
}
// x now references the clicked button's Datagrid row.

Hope this helps.
