Get selected item column value in code behind

[Clive Hoggar]

Hi

I am trying to use the 'select' button to add a RadGrid item to a sort of 'cart' and to
confirm the addition by writing label text. This is the code:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.SelectedIndexChanged

        LabelCart.Text = RadGrid1.SelectedValue("Name").Text + " was added to your request list."

End Sub

If I leave out the  RadGrid1.SelectedValue("Name").Text +  part it displays the text when an item is selected.
However with the code as above, it generates an error:

System.NullReferenceException: Object variable or With block variable not set

I have spent many unhappy hours with 'null reference exception's in the past ... can you put your
 finger on it right away?

Or how should I be doing this?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Clive,

Try the following code snippet and see whether it helps. SelectedValue returns the DataKeyValue for the selected row in the RadGrid control.

VB:

     Protected Sub RadGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
         'to get the key value for the selected row
         LabelCart.Text = RadGrid1.SelectedValue.ToString() & " was added to your request list."

         'to get the cell value of the selected row
         For Each item As GridDataItem In RadGrid1.SelectedItems
             LabelCart.Text = item("Name").Text
         Next
     End Sub

Thanks!
 
That worked a treat. (After converting to VB!)
