Passing values from a datagrid using a Link Button

Question

Here's my scenario: I'm passing an object into a datagrid (one object per row). Each row represents a customer search object. I need a column that provides a link button to pass the object back to another method that will load their information on the same page. I'm not exactly sure how to do this with aspx and firing the code behind. If I can get from the datagrid to the code behind with the row object intact I will be home free! Thanks in advance.

Ok so I've made some headway. I restructured the flow so that all I need to pull out of the row is a single attribute of the object that is in that row. However I need that attribute to come out of the GV as an int. In the domain object it is set to be an int already but it says Cannot convert object to int. Here is some code. Method: protected void lbViewMap_Command(object sender CommandEventArgs e) { int dealerId = e.CommandArgument; //Another method here with dealerId } The aspx code: '> Ignore the space before the I needed that so it would show up here. Any ideas? I kinda have a presentation later today if anyone would help me I'd appreciate it greatly =)

Hey Thanks for posting on my thread! I was hoping you might be able to give me some additional advice. I have an object called Dealers. Each dealer (from a search) is loaded into the gridview. The last column is a link button and I need to pass that particular dealer to a method in the business logic. The method is call ViewMap. the gridview is called gvDealers Any code help? THANKS in advance =)

Hi !! Use Item Template in your grid view control and then place link button inside that column u want to display. Set CommandName and CommandArgument properties of that LinkButton CommandName u will get on ItemCommand event of that gridview and CommandArgument u can get the gridview row being clicked. U need to call the method u want to call on ItemCommand event of the Grid. Thats IT.
