commandargument to hole database value

[kyle goodfriend]

How do I get the commandargument to hold the datatextfield value.  If I remove the datatextformatstring, the column shows the value for ID.  I want to pass the ID value as the argument.  Below produces an argument of {0}.

<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandArgument="{0}" CommandName="SendEmail"
    ConfirmText="Do you want to send an email to all residents about this service?"
    DataTextField="ID" DataTextFormatString="Send Email" Text="SendEmail"
    UniqueName="column2">
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>

Hello,


You can access the DataKeyValue in the code behind without using CommandArgument. See the code snippet shown below.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
 {
     if (e.CommandName == "SendEmail")
     {
         string id = (e.Item as GridDataItem).GetDataKeyValue("ID").ToString();
         Response.Write(id);
     }
 }

Hope it helps. :)
