This maybe RadGrid 101 but I need to know how to handle an event when a LinkButton is clicked. I don't want to use the standard edit and delete buttons cause I have a lot of custom code that needs to run. I want to have the LinkButton button clicked, it launches an event, in that event I pull the AnnouncementID or any data from that row and then do the custom code.

    
            <telerik:RadGrid ID="gridAnnouncements" runat="server"  
        
                    AutoGenerateColumns="false" onneeddatasource="gridAnnouncements_NeedDataSource"> 
        
                        <MasterTableView DataKeyNames="AnnouncementID"> 
        
                            <Columns> 
        
                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="AnnouncementID" Display="false"></telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title"></telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn DataField="isNewsFlash" HeaderText="News Flash" ReadOnly="false"></telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn DataField="isFeatured" HeaderText="Featured"  ReadOnly="false"></telerik:GridCheckBoxColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="UpdatedDate" HeaderText="Last Updated"></telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="UpdatedBy" HeaderText="Last Updated By"></telerik:GridBoundColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" Text="Edit"></telerik:GridButtonColumn> 
        
                                <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" Text="Delete"></telerik:GridButtonColumn> 
        
                            </Columns> 
        
                        </MasterTableView> 
        
                    </telerik:RadGrid>

How do I click the edit button and pull the AnnouncementID in the server side code?

Hi James,

You can set the CommandName property for the GridButtonColumn whcih will fire the ItemCommand event . You can then access the datakey value from here as shown below:
C#

    
             protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    if (e.CommandName == "Edit") 
        
                    { 
        
                        GridEditableItem editedItem = (GridEditableItem)e.Item; 
        
                        string ProductID = editedItem.GetDataKeyValue("ProductID").ToString(); 
        
                    } 
        
                }

Thanks,
