Extracting Value from grid and pass it to a session

[L]

hi

This is my grid value of the first column:

CustomerName
Allen
Ben
Charlie

I would like to extract the first character and pass it to a session. For example "Allen", Session("value") = "A".  "Ben", Session("value") = "B".  How should i go about it? thanks

hi

Ok, i have went through the suggestion. But my situation is different.

Basically i have 2 grid on the same page. One that display the categories and the other display the detail of the category based on the selection of the category on the grid.

For example. the radCatGrid would display the category name and some other information. So, when a user click on let say a category name called "Toys", the radProdGrid would display all the toys related to the category. I don't think i can use Hierarchy because of the both tables data is not related by PK or FK in my case.

My objective is to pass the selected value to a session when selected. How should i go about it . Thanks

As far as I understood you have related grids like in the following demo:

I hope this example fits your scenario.

hi

Sorry, I have tried the related grid example but it seems not working for me. I believe the selectedValues must based on an ID field which is not what i want or have.

Ok, based on my code below i am able to access the cell value. But i want to access the cell value based on the row i have clicked.

I have a select button on every row in the grid and i want to pass the dataItem value to a session when i click the select button. How do I accomplish that? Thanks

 

Protected Sub RadGrid1_DataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound

 

 

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then

 

 

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

 

Session(

"bs") = dataItem("BuyerSeller").Text.Substring(0, 3)

 

 

Session("PName") = dataItem("PName").Text

 

Session(

"PType") = dataItem("PType").Text

 

 

If Session("bs") = "Buy" Then

 

Session(

"label") = "List Of Sellers for "

 

 

Else

 

Session(

"label") = "List Of Buyers for "

 

 

End If

 

 

End If

 

 

End Sub

ok. I got it working. Thanks
