GridView Control

[annbransom]

Thanks for the reply. But what I'm asking is once I am writing the code behind the GridViewControl, what do I put so that I can use the text from the grid in a redirect. I.E.

If e.CommandName = "Select" Then
Response.Redirect("OhioRentalAdmin.aspx?Veh=" & Text from the first column of the GridView)
End IF

How do I get the text from the first column of the GridView and place it in this code?

I have a gridview control that I am trying towrite a selectindexchanged event for. All I want is that when you click on the VanNumber buttonfield, it redirects you to a page with a query string parmeter ?Veh= and whatever the van number is. Right now, it is just dumping in a null value. Any suggestions? Here is the gridview code:




<asp:GridView ID="GridView3" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" PageSize="100" Width="520px" DataKeyNames="VanNumber" DataMember="VanNumber">


<Columns>


<asp:ButtonField CommandName="Select" DataTextField="VanNumber" Text="Button" HeaderText="Veh#" />


<asp:BoundField DataField="VanMake" HeaderText="Make" />


<asp:BoundField DataField="VanModel" HeaderText="Model" />


<asp:BoundField DataField="VanSize" HeaderText="Size" />


<asp:BoundField DataField="Location" HeaderText="Location" />


<asp:CheckBoxField DataField="HandControls" HeaderText="Hand Controls?" />


<asp:CheckBoxField DataField="TransferSeat" HeaderText="Transfer Seat?" />


<asp:BoundField DataField="StartDate" DataFormatString="{0:d}" HeaderText="Next Rental Begins" HtmlEncode="False" />


</Columns>


<RowStyle Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="10pt" />


<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#C0FFC0" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="10pt" />


</asp:GridView>

Since you want touse a button instead of LinkButton you can do something use


<asp:gridview id="CustomersGridView" datasourceid="CustomersSqlDataSource" onrowcommand="some_function_name_in_your_codebehind" ...


<columns>


<asp:buttonfield buttontype="Button"commandname="Select"headertext="Select Customer"text="Select"/>


</columns>


and in your codebehind have something like...


Sub some_function_name_in_your_codebehind(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewCommandEventArgs)


If e.CommandName = "Select" Then....



See http://msconline.maconstate.edu/tutorials/ASPNET2/ASPNET09/aspnet09-05.aspx,if you want to use a linkbutton.

Well to get the text from the first column you need to do have' e.Item.Cells[0] '
