So easy it's ridiculous

Just one of those days...

i have a radgrid, first column is a record id that is not visible.  I want the user to select a row in the grid and then click an asp:button.  on the asp:button postback event i want to retrieve the record id from the selected grid row... sounds easy enough but for life of me can't find the solution...
many thanks!!!

Hi,

Try accessing the selected row value in the button click event as shown below.

CS:

protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      foreach(GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.SelectedItems )
      {
          string strID = item["IDColumnUniqueName"].Text;
      }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.

Hi Wardeaux,

One another suggestion will be to set the ID field as the DataKeyName and you can access its value in the click event of button.

ASPX:

<MasterTableView DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataKeyNames="ID"  CommandItemDisplay="top" >

CS:

protected void Button1_Click1(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
      foreach(GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.SelectedItems )
      {
          string strKey = item.GetDataKeyValue("ID").ToString();
      }
    }

Thanks
Princy.

Thanks, Princy!  That is also an EXCELLENT suggestion... I will be sure to add BOTH of these methods to my "bag of tricks"...  as it turns out i had already set the datamember for my hidden column to also be a datakeyname... now all i have to do is read its value!! 
it has been almost a year since I've used Radgrid and i'm VERY rusty... thanks to BOTH of you!!!
