GridView Edit..

[Dio22]

I need several buttons on each GridView row that redirect to pages performing custom operations. How do I get the DataKey of the row the button was clicked on? So that I can send the database ID of the row I want to perform operations on to another page. I can't use GridView.SelectedDataKey.Value because i'm not always going to be clicking the select button. Nor can I use the index, because that is not the ID for the data in the database.

Nevermind. :) This is how I did it. If someone knows a better way, lemme know. I created a button commandField with command "EditRow" and hooked up the RowCommand event.

protected void MainGrid_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.CommandName == "EditRow")
   {
    DataKey mykey = MainGrid.DataKeys[Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument)];
    String mystring = Convert.ToString(mykey.Value);
    Page.Response.Redirect("Insert.aspx?key=" + mystring);
    }
}
