I'll add a different approach to sathish's answer - Since you are adding the button in a datagrid column, you can take advantage of event bubbling within the datagrid. Assign a CommandName (and optionally CommandArgument to the button (these are properties of the button). Then in the code handler for the DataGrid's ItemCommand event, you can determine if that command button were clicked by it's CommandName. For example, if you named your button "Details", then your DataGrid ItemCommand handler might look like this:

void MyGrid_ItemCommand(object o, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Details")
{
// do something when "Details" is clicked...
// perhaps check e.CommandArgument to get to additional
// data assigned to the button...
}
}

It's typical to use a switch statement in an ItemCommand handler if you have several buttons with CommandName's in your datagrid.

Hi Try this: int tmpid = Convert.ToInt32(datagrid.DataKeys[(int)e.Item.ItemIndex]); string popupScript = "< Script language = 'javascript'>"+ string.Format("javaScript:window.opener.document.{0}.value = \'{1:d}\';window.close(0;", request.QueryString["field"], Convert.ToInt32(tmpid)) + ""; Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("PopupScript",popupScript); In Properties of DataGrid, This Code as to be written in "ItemCommand" Event.
