Simple server-side row selecting and accessing row data

[Darren]

I've been searching through the documentation to do a simple server-side select and access the data in that row. I found this page here (http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/grid-retrieve-primary-key-field-values-for-items.html) and used a line from the sample code:

RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0].GetDataKeyValue("CustomerID").ToString()

Visual Studio gives me an error of "'Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem' does not contain a definition for 'GetDataKeyValue' and no extension method 'GetDataKeyValue' accepting a first argument of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridItem' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"

I tried a different route using this:

grd.SelectedItems[0].Cells[1].Text

but this doesn't return anything at runtime, regardless of the index I use for the cells collection.

Please advise. Thanks guys!

Hi Darren,

Try casting RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0] as a GridDataItem. 

I hope this helps!

GridDataItem selItem = RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0] as GridDataItem;
selItem.GetDataKeyValue("CustomerID").ToString();

That worked. Thank you!
