[Solved] GridButtonColumn with id?

[scrut]

I have a Grid showing a set of files.
When the user clicks on the column with the filename, the Code-Behind does something with this information.

To do this, I have data-bound this Grid with a table function returning the attributes ID and NAME (among others).

Within the Grid, I created a GridButtonColumn like this:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="Select" DataTextField="name" HeaderText="File name" Text="Select" UniqueName="column">
    <HeaderStyle Width="200px" />
</telerik:GridButtonColumn>

Now I wish to somehow make sure that when the User clicks on the link displayed within this column, the CodeBehind can obtain the ID associated with the displayed NAME.

How do I do that?

What event is thrown when a user clicks into the GridButtonColumn?
How can I link the ID to the column items? Making sure that it shows the name NAME was trivial via DataTextField. But what do I do with the ID?

Thanks

Hi Scrut,

Try setting the required ID field as the DataKeyName and access it in the ItemCommand Event on clicking the GridButtonColumn as shown below.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView DataKeyNames="ID"   DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" >

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCommand(object source, GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        GridDataItem item=(GridDataItem)e.Item;
        if (e.CommandName == "Select")
        {
            string strKey = item.GetDataKeyValue("ID").ToString();
        }

    }

Hope this helps..
Princy.
