Click in a radgrid.

[Pierre]

Hi,

I need to click on some link in my rad grid.

I have 2 like per row.

on each link im using the following code till i get an answer:

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn
     UniqueName ="LinkRpt"
     DataTextFormatString="S/N {0} "
     DataTextField="UsrSN"
     DataNavigateUrlFields="CaseID"
     DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/Site/mypage.aspx?var={0}"
     HeaderText="Repport link" >
</telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

 

As you can see im using " Request.QueryString["var"] ".
But i want the var to be in Session. Because this 'var' is a sensitive data.

I know how to put things in session. Session["field1"] = "value1";

But  i can't do that with a GridHyperLinkColum because there is no OnClick event.
Its the same for the GridButtonColumn.
So i guess i have to use GridTemplateColumn with a RadButtonin it.

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn >
    <ItemTemplate>
        <telerik:RadButton
            ID="RadButton1"
            runat="server"
            Text="See Repport."
            OnClick="RadButton1_Click" >
        </telerik:RadButton>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

In this RadButton1_Click, what should i do to get the CaseID of the row clicked.

How do i navigate to my "~/Site/mypage.aspx" ?
if i use Javascript:

function OnClientClicking(button, args) {
                window.location = button.get_navigateUrl();
                args.set_cancel(true);
            }

with the OnClientClicking how do i set things in session ?

 

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Regards,
Pierre.

Hello Pierre,

Generally, you can pass the ID in query string and use it to get the rest of the data from your database in the opened web page, similar to this live sample:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandwindow/defaultcs.aspx?product=window

​You can find additional samples here:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/context-menu---open-a-pop-up#Qe9fJgzWrE2DhYPWX7OkCQ

And check the explanation provided in this post:
http://www.telerik.com/forums/open-report-link-using-unique-row-id#eupACGJdv0mBbLYsQEvMdQ

In your case, however, you need to use Session, which requires abandoning the javascript QueryString approach and using server-side configuration on the code-behind. You can do that using the following steps:

1. Use the OnClick event handler of the button.
2. Get a reference to the GridDataItem using (sender as RadButton).NamingContainer.
3. Use GetDataKeyValue() method to extract the record ID:
http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/grid/rows/accessing-cells-and-rows#accessing-raw-field-data-and-key-values
4. Save the ID in a Session variable.
5. Access the saved value in the new page.

I am also sending 2 sample RadGrid web sites to demonstrate:
1. Various ways of declaring link columns
2. Practical implementation with Session variables.

I hope this will prove helpful.
