Hello!

Sorry for long title :). I have a button placed instide MasterTableView \ ItemTemplate which has attached server-side OnClick event. Normally in RadGrid event OnItemDataBound I can access databinded item for this row by using this:

MyClass dataItem = (MyClass )e.Item.DataItem; 

but how can I access DataItem in OnClick event of Button which is inside ItemTemplate? If accessing is not possible then how can I pass this DataItem to this Button.

Thanks

Hello GrZeCh,

Generally e.Item.DataItem is available only during data-binding exactly in the same way as in MS DataGrid and GridView. After post-back you can get the data key value for desired item and filed declared in DataKeyNames. Here is an example for Button click event handler:

GridDataItem item  = (GridDataItem)((Button)sender).NamingContainer;
object value = item.GetDataKeyValue("YourDataKeyName");
// here you can find actual item in your collection of objects using this value.
