Get specific value from DetailsView

[armasramirez]

Hi I´m trying to retrieve a value from an specific cell on a DetailsView grid and display it into a TextBox. I´m using something like TextBox1.Text=DetailsView.Row(1).Cell(1).Text but when I run the page, the value is not displayed. Any ideas?? Thanks

hi your code is correct and i tried it under a button,the page runs without errors. tell me where you put your code? if you put it in load event,take care because you will have an error if the detailsview isn't filled in load event. try your code in button click event. thanks Essam Moustafa

I need it to ve retrieved when another control (A DropDownList) is executed...it is: 1) Element from DropDownList is selected 2) Then DetailsView displays something related to the element above 3) Then DetialsView value in Row(1) Cell(1) is displayed in TextBox

hi after you fill your control as(listbox) you put this code in ListBox1_SelectedIndexChanged sqlconnection cn=new sqlconnection(); cn.ConnectionString = conString; SqlCommand cmd1 = new SqlCommand("select * from myTable where ID="+ListBox1.SelectedValue.ToString(), cn); SqlDataAdapter ad = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd1); dataset ds=new dataset(); ad.Fill(ds, "v"); DetailsView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["v"]; DetailsView1.DataBind(); TextBox1.Text = DetailsView2.Rows[1].Cells[1].Text; you can replace listbox with dropdownlist your brother Essam Moustafa

This is not longer workin =( Maybe I need to declare a library or something, somehow???

the thing is that DetailsView control does not executes AutoPostBack, so the value in it is never passed to the TextBox ...??

hi my brother the code that i wrote is in c# you can convert it in vb.net easily. you don't need that the detailsview is postback or not because the code that i wrote can be implemented in ListBox Or DropDownList_SelectedIndexChanged Event if you try my code your problem will be solved.
