[RESOLVED] How to find ButtonField in RowDataBound event of GridView ?

Hi,

i have a buttonfield in my gridview and want to access it from the rowdatabound event. Since it is not having ID , how can i refer or FindControl it in the event.

In Code behind :

protected void GridView_OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

{

 

        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

         {

               Button btnSave = (Button) childGrid.Controls[0] ; // how to find buttonfield control here..

          }

}

please suggest..!!

My advice is that you use a templatefield with a button inside. This will ale you to use e.Row.FindControl() to find the button by id.

i have done that using asp button control in template field. But trying to figure it out that is it possible with buttonfield control .

//for loop  for row & column in gridview 

Button sav=(Button)GridView1.Rows[i].Cells[j].FindControl("Button1");

But it would be better to use template field

Try like this: Button btnSave = (Button) e.Row.Cell[1].Controls[0];

You might need to play around with the indexes depending on your exact markup.
