How to get column text and column unique name based on the column index given (On both client-side and server-side)?

[LamKhoa]

If I know the column index, how do I get its header text and its unique name?
Please provide me the sample code to do that on both client-side (Javascript) and server-side (C# or VB).

Thanks

Lamk.

you didn't say at what point or on what event you need this information
to get the unique name, the MasterTableView Columns collection, which is indexed, can give you the UniqueName on the server
- you'll need to know (or figure out) what kind of Column it is (GridBoundColumn, etc)
there is a get_columns() function for the MasterTableView object on the client which may get you what you want
as for the Text, once you have the UniqueName you can drill down into the Controls in the TableCell

Would you please give me an example?

Thanks

Dim aCol as GridBoundColumn=(GridBountColumn)RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns(2)
Dim strUnq = aCol.UniqueName

Thanks.
Would you please also give me the sample code for client-side as well?

Thanks

var grid = sender;
var MasterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();
var id = MasterTable.get_columns()[0].get_uniqueName();

not sure what event sender is coming from - but there are other ways to get the grid as an object

Thanks,

It works great.

Is it possible to change this so that it's not locked to column 0, but instead the column that was clicked?

I figured it out:  I can use the index to get the column name and pass it back to the server instead of the column index.

<script type="text/javascript">
       function rowClick(sender, args) {
           var grid = sender;
           var MasterTable = grid.get_masterTableView();
           var cellindex = args.get_domEvent().target.cellIndex
           var id = MasterTable.get_columns()[cellindex].get_uniqueName();
           sender.get_masterTableView().fireCommand("CellClick", id + "|" + args.get_domEvent().target.innerHTML);
       }
    </script>

"If I know the column index"
substitute the column index instead of 0
