Get column text server side 2008 Q2

[Bill Deihl]

 I have a radgid and some of labels on my form.

 I want to get the text of a couple of columns in the selected row and put those values in labels located elsewhere on the form.

 So my question is, what server side event should I use on the radgrd and then how do I get the text value of columns in that row.

 LabelLastName.text = selectedrow.column(“EmployeeLastName”).text

 Thanks for any help!

Hi Bill,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.SelectedItems)
        {
            Label1.Text = item["columnUniqueName"].Text.ToString();
        }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.

Hello Bill,

This is a possible approach:

protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(rgResults.SelectedItems.Count > 0)
        Label1.Text = ((Label)(RadGrid1.SelectedItems[0] as GridDataItem)["CompanyName"].Controls[1]).Text;
}

Yet another approach (DataKeys are used here):

protected void rgResults_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CommandName == "RowClick")
        Label1.Text = (e.Item as GridDataItem).GetDataKeyValue("ContactName").ToString();
}

Please note that you need to enable postback on row click:

<ClientSettings EnablePostBackOnRowClick="True">
