How to find datakey value of gridview on selected index changed property?

Question

My gridview is like this but I am getting error when I select view button to find primary key value column on selected index changed. Please help me to solve the issue.

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged">
            <Columns >
                <asp:TemplateField >
                    <ItemTemplate >
                        <asp:Button ID="btnViewComments" Text ="View Comments" runat ="server" CommandName ="select" />
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
                <asp:BoundField DataField ="forumId" Visible ="false" />
                <%--<asp:CommandField ButtonType ="Button" ShowSelectButton ="true" SelectText ="View Comments"/>--%>

my code is.....

protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        try
        {
            Int64 forumId = (Int64)GridView1.SelectedValue;
            Session["forumId"] = forumId;
            Response.Redirect("Thread.aspx");
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {

            throw;
        }
    }

Answer 1

First you have to define field name in grid view declaration that which field you want to make datakey. for example if you want "forumId" datakey.than

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged"
DataKeyNames="forumId">

and than you can access in this way

int intforumid = Convert.ToInt32(GridView1.DataKeys[row.RowIndex].Values[0]);

Answer 2

protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    try
    {
        Int64 forumId = Convert.ToInt64(GridView1.SelectedRow.Cells[1].Text);
        Session["forumId"] = forumId;
        Response.Redirect("Thread.aspx");
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {

        throw;
    }
}

Answer 3

you can set DataKeyNames as forumId like below

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" DataKeyNames = "forumId" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None" OnSelectedIndexChanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged">

Since you haven't give any data key names in current solution GridView1.SelectedValue will not contain the value you expected

Answer 4

看起来你只需要将DataKeyNames属性设置为forumId就好;

<asp:GridView DataKeyNames = "forumId" ...

Answer 5

You would need to specify the unique column name in the gridview to be set under the Datakey tab.

From there, you would need to invoke the _selectedIndexChanged method on the behind page code.

Answer 6

如果你没有在page.cs代码中使用gridview select事件，那么你只需从gridview页面的aspx代码中删除OnSelectedIndexChanged =“GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged”。
