Hello,

The nestedgrid should be in editmode in order to access the button placed in FormTemplate, beacuse it is not rendered on page in normal mode.

One suggestion to access the button is in the ItemCreated event of nestedgrid Radgrid as shown below.

CS:
 
    protected void nestedgrid_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) 
    { 
        if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode) 
        { 
            GridEditFormItem editItem = (GridEditFormItem)e.Item; 
            Button btn = (Button)editItem.FindControl("btngo"); 
            // Your code 
        } 
    }

Hello Dingen,

From your code, I see that you are binding the nestedgrid in the 'ItemCreated' event of the parent grid. Instead can you try binding the grid using Advanced DataBinding techmique using NeedDataSource event of the nestedgrid itself, which will in turn fire the ItemCommand event of the nestedgrid on clicking the button. Thus you can retrieve the selectedvaue of dropdownlist in the ItemCommand event.

Thanks,
Princy
