Linkbutton In Grid OnClick event

[Mark]

OK, I have a radgrid with a GridButtonColumn (below)

<telerik:RadGrid ID="grdOrderedItems" OnNeedDataSource="OrdItem_NeedDataSource"
    OnItemDataBound="OrdItemDatabound" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="False">
    <ClientSettings>
        <Scrolling AllowScroll="True" ScrollHeight="250px" UseStaticHeaders="True"></Scrolling>
    </ClientSettings>
    <MasterTableView NoMasterRecordsText="You have no ordered items att his time.">
        <Columns>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Order Number" DataField="OrderNumber"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Item Number" DataField="ItemNumber"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Item Name" DataField="ItemName"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridButtonColumn HeaderText="View Custom Print" UniqueName="btnView" DataTextField="CustomID"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Custom ID" DataField="CustomID" Visible="False"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Friendly Name" DataField="FriendlyName" Visible="False"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Ordered By" DataField="OrderedBy"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
            <telerik:GridBoundColumn HeaderText="Shipped?" DataField="Shipped"></telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        </Columns>
    </MasterTableView>
</telerik:RadGrid>

I want to have an onclick event with a command argument
I kind of have it - but this line
                     btnView.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "LoadProof(null, null)"); 
gives me some issues...

protected void OrdItemDatabound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem || e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.Item)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem itemValue = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

            LinkButton btnView = (LinkButton)itemValue["btnView"].Controls[0];
            btnView.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "LoadProof(null, null)");
            btnView.CommandArgument = string.Format("return Click('{0}';", itemValue.GetDataKeyValue("CustomID"));
        }
    }
}

I need to fire this block of code:

protected void LoadProof(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //.... do some stuff
}

But I can't figure out how to call the object and arguments - for the onclick:
btnView.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "LoadProof(null, null)");
Any suggestions?  I know, it shouldn't be "null, null" - but I can't use "sender, e" - Visual Studio doesn't like it.

UPDATE!!!
I started looking around on the forums and found a few somewhat helpful items.
I started using an ItemCreated process:
(I need the command argument for the second function)

if(e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
    GridDataItem dataitem = (GridDataItem) e.Item;
    LinkButton btn1 = (LinkButton)dataitem["btnView"].Controls[0];
    btn1.CommandArgument = string.Format("return Click('{0}';", (e.Item as GridDataItem)["CustomID"].Text);
    btn1.Click += new EventHandler(LoadProof);
}

calling the same code as before (a little more detail, now):

protected void LoadProof(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var btnView = (LinkButton)sender;
    var customID = btnView.CommandArgument;

    Print_Custom_Item it = (from Print_Custom_Item c in dataContext.Print_Custom_Items where c.CartId != null select c).FirstOrDefault();
    if (it != null)
    {
        var ci = new CustomItem();
        ci.LoadArchive(it.CustomID.ToString(), it.ItemNumber);
        ci.CustomId = it.CustomID.ToString();
        ci.ItemNumber = it.ItemNumber;
        Session["PODItem"] = new List<CustomItem>();
        ((List<CustomItem>)Session["PODItem"]).Add(ci);
    }

    CustomItem podItem = (from CustomItem c in (List<CustomItem>)Session["PODItem"] where c.CustomId == customID select c).SingleOrDefault();
    if (podItem != null)
    {
        podItem.path = Server.MapPath(@"\CustomPOD\TempImg\");
        if (podItem.GeneratePDF(true, ((LinkButton)sender).ID == "imglargepreview"))
        {
            imgpreview.Visible = true;
            imgpreview.ImageUrl = @"/CustomPOD/TempImg/" + customID + ".png?t=" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString();
            mpe.Show();
        }
    }
}

But nothing happens on click... I really need some help with this.

Hi Mark,

Try adding the Button Click event in the ItemCreated event and give the CommandArgument in the ItemDataBonud event.

C#:

protected void grdOrdererItems_ItemCreated(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem dataitem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        LinkButton btn1 = (LinkButton)dataitem["btnView"].Controls[0];
        btn1.Click += new EventHandler(btn1_Click);
    }
}

protected void grdOrderedItems_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem dataitem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        LinkButton btn1 = (LinkButton)dataitem["btnView"].Controls[0];
        btn1.CommandArgument = string.Format("return Click('{0}';", (e.Item as GridDataItem)["CustomID"].Text);
    }
}

void btn1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var btnView = (LinkButton)sender;
    var customID = btnView.CommandArgument;
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks for the suggestion Shinu, but I get an error that says "Parameters do not match the method signature" - for
"grdOrdererItems_ItemCreated"

CS0123: No overload for 'ordItemCreated' matches delegate 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventHandler'
(my naming convention is different than yours, but that shouldn't be an issue)

Apparently, it doesn't like "object sender, GridItemEventArgs e" for that.

I changed "GridItemEventArgs" to "GridCommandEventArgs" - as a test.  The error is gone, but the functionality still doesn't do what it is supposed to.

What do you suggest?

Essentially, when the user clicks the link button, a window opens up showing a preview of an item that they've ordered in the past - I'm not using a RadWindow, just a window.
But, I am using the RadAjaxManagerProxy to open it up - and it works on another page, just not from a RadGrid (using an asp.net gridview)

Another update!!!
I figured out why it's not working...  but still haven't fixed the issue - but, rest assured, it's not a Telerik issue.
Your code works fine.  My code, however - needs work.

It reaches the Click Event and it fires correctly.... I just need to work on my LINQ expressions for my data to come up.

Thank you for all your help.
