I have a Link Button in my Rad grid, and am able to capture the Item_Command event when clicking. However, I cant figure out how to access the other values within the row from in the item command. I dont need just the data key values, and the other examples for the update command and delete command, i need access to the data in all columns.

Basically i have a url with some special variables that the page will redirect to when clicked, and i need to basically loop through all the columns,and replace the url variables dynamically with the values associated with the correct column.

For example, say my url has a parameter {orderNumber}. I want to replace that value in the string with the value from the orderNumber column thats in my row.

I am aware of the hyperlink button, but cant go that route because under certain circumstances we're not allowed to show the querystring.

So, all that said, in an item command does anyone know how to loop through and grab the values from the other columns?

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm aware of using that method, I was hoping for a more generic way to loop through each column and get the column/uniquename for that column and replace tokens with the column value for the row. To elaborate a little further imagine i have this url stored in my database.

page.aspx?OrderNumber={ORDERNUMBER}&CustomerName={CUSTOMERNAME}

Each thing surrounded by { } is a token that needs to be replaced by the value in that column for the row clicked. I need the event handler to not make any assumptions about the url, or the column names, it simply needs to do a generic find/replace.

So that said the user clicks my link button for some row in the grid. I now have access to the item they clicked in the Item_Command. From there, i need a way to loop through generically, grab each column name and do like a url = url.Replace("{" + ColumnName + "}",ColumnValue) kind of a thing.

Is there a way to do this completely dynamically like that?

Thanks,
Allen

Hello Allen,

You could iterate through the columns of grid using 'foreach' loop as shown below. Get the corresponding column's UniqueName and cell value and add to your url.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)

{

if (e.CommandName == "Command")// CommandName of LinkButton

{

string url="page.aspx?";

GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns)

{

string columnname="";

string value="";

if (col.ColumnType=="GridBoundColumn")

{

columnname = col.UniqueName;//UniqueName of GridBoundColumn

value = item[col.UniqueName].Text;//cell value of GridBoundColumn

url += columnname + "=" + value + "&";

}

string url2 = url.Substring(0, url.Length - 1);

}

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi,all

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn DataField="Place "

HeaderText="Place "

UniqueName=" Place " SortExpression=" Place asc">

<a href="#" onclick="showDetails(<%# Eval("Place ")%>,<%# Eval("Placeitem ")%>);return false;" target="_self">

<asp:Label ID="lblPlace" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Place ")%>' Visible="True"></asp:Label></a>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

Place:Red-Hills

Here Place –Red,Placeitem-Hills will be passed in the showdetails function.
How can i get the Red and Hills from Red-Hills in this scenario?

Hello Princy.

I have a similar issue to the one that you responded, and I do not know why your first example it is not working for me. I have found this same example over and over again, but in my case simply doesn't do it. I have an exception of 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandItem' to type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridDataItem'. Help please!!!

Protected Sub grdPhases_ItemCommand(sender As Object, e As GridCommandEventArgs) Handles grdPhases.ItemCommand
If e.CommandName = "InitInsert" Then
Dim item As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem) <==this is where it fails.

Dim value As String = item("RecruitProfileID").Text
End If
End Sub

Hello Dehanys,

The command you are probably looking for is called PerformInsert:
https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/control-lifecycle/command-reference-

Please replace it with InitInsert and the issue should be resolved. Alternatively, you can use the separate OnInsertCommand event handler provided by the grid.

You can also check the resources provided here:

As well as this one:

I hope this will prove helpful.
