RadGrid Get Primary Key When Item Created

[James]

Hi,

I am using this demo to allow me to open rad windows from my RadGrid:  http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/controls/examples/integration/gridandwindow/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid

My challenge is that I need to encrypt my URL parameters server side.  I think this would be simple if I could grab the Primary Key as each item is created on the grid.  But, I cannot seem to get the syntax correct to get that ID of the items DataKey.  I've tried variations of this statement:

Dim myIndex As Integer = e.Item.ItemIndex

If myIndex > 0 Then

    Dim myPK As String = e.Item.OwnerTableView.Items(myIndex)("QuestionID").Text

    'Then encrypt from here and add to the function defined in the link in the "template" column.

End If

Most of my errors seem to be around e.Item.ItemIndex.  Any help?

Jim

Hello James,

In order to access the primary key value, try the following code snippet in ItemDataBound event.
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
 {
    GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
    string val = item.GetDataKeyValue("QuestionID").ToString();
 }
}

Thank you very much.  This looks like it is working!
