Passing values from Datagrid to another form

[caryma]

I am trying to pass values from my datagrid from one form (webform1.aspx) to another form (webform2.aspx), but I don't want to transfer the data to another datagrid. I want them to display in text boxes on the second form (webform2.aspx). I am using a DataSet to populate the datagrid.

Have you tried an editable datagrid? Its a built-in feature, which means you dont need 2 seperate webforms.

Smookie,

I think I understand what you are talking about. In that case would it just display the select record in the datagrid? If so I am trying to accomplish passing the value of the record to a form that doesn't have a datagrid and more of your generic input form.

I have also tried to pass the value using variables.

I have created a pushbuttom column on the datagrid with CommandName cmdEdit.

I used the following code to handle the event:

Private Sub cmdEdit(ByVal Sender As Object, ByVal E As DataGridCommandEventArgs)


Dim strssn As String = E.Item.Cells(0).Text
Dim strName As String = E.Item.Cells(0).Text

Response.Redirect("new_hire_update.aspx?SSN=" + strssn)

Everytime I push the button it just opens the same page new_hire_view.asp which is the original page with the datagrid

sounds to me like you simply need a HyperLinkColumn in your datagrid:

for example:

Code: Select all

<asp:DataGrid ID="dgrd1" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Runat="Server">

<Columns>
 <asp:BoundColumn HeaderText="Name" DataField="strName" />
 <asp:HyperLinkColumn HeaderText="SSN" DataNavigateUrlField="strSSN" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="new_hire_update.aspx?SSN={0}" Text="Edit" />
</Columns>

</asp:DataGrid>
