[Solved] Parse error while trying to call server side method from a link button column in radgrid

[Shanmuganand]

Am using a radgrid. One of the columns is a Telerik:GridTemplateColumn, within which i have the asp:linkbutton. On click of the link button, i need to call a server side method, by passing the value of another column to that. But am getting a parse error. Mu code is:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Name" HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="PayeeName">
     <ItemTemplate>
          <div style="display : block; width : 100%" class="blueLinkText">
               <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkReject" runat="server" OnClick="lnkAddVendorID_Click('<%#Server.HtmlEncode(BindingHelper.Format(Eval("PayeeName")))%>')"><%# Server.HtmlEncode(BindingHelper.Format(Eval("PayeeName")))%></asp:LinkButton>
            </div>
       </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

When i run this code, i get an error as "Parse Error" The server tag is not well formed.

Have anyone came across such an issue. Please let me know, how to fix this.

HI,

Try the following code.
C#:

protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
        LinkButton link = (LinkButton)sender;
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)link.NamingContainer;
        string value = item["Uniquename"].Text;
}

Thanks,
Shinu
