{
string tasknumber = ((GridHyperLinkColumn)((RadGrid)sender).MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].Columns[6]).Text;
((GridHyperLinkColumn)((RadGrid)sender).MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].Columns[6]).DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "../AIPSTaskSelector.aspx?SubActionId={0}&disableMaster=1&read=true";
}
}

string tasknumber = ((GridHyperLinkColumn)((RadGrid)sender).MasterTableView.DetailTables[0].Columns[6]).Text;

Hello Bharat,

I guess the GridHyperLinkColumn is within Detail table. Check out the following code snippet which shows how to access the Text in GridhyperLinkColumn.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadGrid . . . .>
  <DetailTables>
    <telerik:GridTableView Name="GridTableView1" runat="server">
      <Columns>
         <telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextField="FirstName"
           DataNavigateUrlFields="EmployeeID" UniqueName="GridHyperLinkColumn">
         </telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>
      </Columns>
     </telerik:GridTableView>
   </DetailTables>
 </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
   {
       if (e.Item is GridDataItem && e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name == "Detail2")
       {
           GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
           HyperLink link = (HyperLink)item["GridHyperLinkColumn"].Controls[0];// accessing HyperLink using ColumnUniqueName
           string colText= link.Text; //accessing HyperLinkColumn text
       }
   }

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Princy,

thanks for your reply.
but i couldn't able to get the text from above code.
my grid is created dynamicaly and there is empty string in e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name.
please suggest.

Hello Bharat,

There are cases in which you may want to distinguish grid rows in hierarchy on ItemCreated/ItemDataBound event. In that case one option is setting name for Master and Detail table. Or you can try any approach in the following documentation.
Distinguish grid rows in hierarchy on ItemCreated/ItemDataBound

And you are getting e.Item.OwnerTableView.Name as empty string because you didn't set Name for DetailTable. Please take a look at the following code snippet which shows how to set name for DetailTable when it is created dynamically.

C#:

//creating Detail table dynamically
 GridTableView tableViewOrders = new GridTableView(RadGrid1);
 tableViewOrders.Name = "GridTableView1"; // setting name for DetailTable

Thanks,
Princy.
