Hi guys

I have gone though the help section how to access rows and columns to do this but all key returns is ' ' The table has data and is populating that column with data. Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Tariff ID" HeaderText="Tariff ID"

SortExpression="Tariff ID" UniqueName="TariffID">

</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

and in code

Protected Sub RadGridMain_ItemCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGridMain.ItemCreated

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then

Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)

Dim key As String = dataItem("TariffID").Text

....

Hello Steve,

You can access cell values using the UniqueName of the columns. Here's an example of how to get this done:

c#:

    
            protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e) 
        
                { 
        
                    if (e.CommandName == "AddToCart") 
        
                    { 
        
                        GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item; 
        
                        DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)dataItem.FindControl("DropDownListID"); 
        
                        string ddlText = ddl.Text; 
        
                        string strtxt = dataItem["ColumnUniqueName"].Text; 
        
                    } 
        
                }

Thanks

HI. I converted it to vb, neither attempts work, I get " " returned.

Dim dataItem As GridDataItem

dataItem =

DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)

Dim ddl As DropDownList

ddl =

DirectCast(dataItem.FindControl("ddlQuantity"), DropDownList)

Dim qty As String = ddl.SelectedItem.Text (Doesnt work)

Dim qty2 As String = ddl.Text (Doesnt work)

I am certain there are values in the list and I am certain I selected a value. Funny, after I select a value and click 'add to cart' the value in the list defaults back to 'No selection' it does not save the selected value. I am thinking the list is switching back to its default value before the procedure can get to it.

very frustrating, any other ideas. My client is on my back about this.

Thanks
