[Solved] Get ID value on rowselect

[David Blok]

How can i get the value from the ID field of the database that is linked to the datagrid ?

    Protected Sub ToggleRowSelection(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        CType(CType(sender, CheckBox).Parent.Parent, GridItem).Selected = CType(sender, CheckBox).Checked

        Dim item As GridDataItem = TryCast((TryCast(sender, CheckBox)).Parent.Parent, GridItem)

        Dim currentItemNumber As Integer = item.ItemIndex 'This works

    End Sub

I can get the itemindex but can't seem to get info from the columns

Hello David,

You can access Text property of the cell by using the 'columnUniquName', as shown below.

      string itemValue = item["ID"].Text; //where dataItem is object of type GridDataItem

Also checkout the following documentation: Accessing cells and rows
