[Solved] Finding Specific Values in a row after an ItemCommand event

[Robert LeGood]

I have a Rad Grid with an Button Column on it.   When I click on the button I want to pull specific values from the row that the button is on.

The code I do that with is as follows...

    protected void RadGrid2_ItemCommand(object source, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "MyCommand")
        {
            RadGrid MyGrid = (RadGrid)source;
            int column = MyGrid.Columns.FindByDataField("ID").OrderIndex
            string MyID = e.Item.Cells[column].Text;
            //DO STUFF
        }
    }

Here's the issue:  If I don't touch the table, everything works fine.   If I drag a column up to the top bar to group, or move columns around, the "column" number remains the same, but e.Item.Cells is using the new format of the table, and, if I use "column" as my indexer, I'm getting something random.  (Usually nbsp;)

Could someone demonstrate how to do what I want to do?

Thanks!!

Hello Robert,

You can find the cell through the column UniqueName like this:

((GridDataItem)e.Item)["ColumnUniqueName"]

You can find more details in this help topic.
