Getting Parent Key

[Nicholas Walker]

These seems like it should be simple, but for some reason I can not figure out how to do it.  I am handling the ItemCommand event of a hierachial self-referening grid.

I simply need to get the key of the item where the add new record button was clicked.

For example

Item 1
    Add new Record
    Sub Item 1
       Add new Record
Item 3
    Add new record
    Sub Item 2
       Add New Record


If I click on the Add new record button under Item 1, I need to get the key/value of Item 1.

If I click on Add new record under Sub Item 1, I need to get the key/value for Sub Item 1.

Seems like a simple thing, but I can't seem to get it.

I figured it out.

 Dim p As GridDataItem = e.OwnerTableView.ParentItem
x = p.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(p.ItemIndex)("CampaignCriteriaID")
