I have a gridview which is pulling it data from a stored procedure. In the column title, I have used a Linkbutton. I would like to grab the Ctl ID and store it in a variable when it is clicked. I am not sure what is happening, but I get a few strings going through. Below is my code and this is similar to my previous post.

ASP.NET

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="ID">
            <ItemTemplate>
            <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkID" runat="server" OnClick="lblClick1"
            Text='<%#Eval("ID") %>'>
            </asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>

C#:

 GridViewRow row = gv2.SelectedRow;
    string controlId = ((LinkButton)row.FindControl("lnkID")).ID;
    lblshow.Text = controlId;

Can someone help me get up and running. Thanks.

    You could use a hidden field to store the id:

    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:HiddenField 
        runat="server" 
        ID="ID" 
        Value='<%# Eval("ID") %>' 
    />

    <asp:LinkButton 
        runat="server" 
        OnClick="LabelClick" 
        Text="click me" 
    />
</ItemTemplate>

    and then:

    protected void LabelClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var hiddenField = (HiddenField)((Control)sender).FindControl("ID");
    var id = hiddenField.Value;
    // Do something with the id        
}

    UPDATE:

    Full working example:

    <%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script type="text/c#" runat="server">

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            grid.DataSource = Enumerable.Range(1, 10).Select(x => new
            {
                ID = x
            });
            grid.DataBind();
        }
    }

    protected void LabelClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var hiddenField = (HiddenField)((Control)sender).FindControl("ID");
        result.Text = string.Format("selected id: {0}", hiddenField.Value);
    }
</script>

                        ID="ID" 
                        Value='<%#Eval("ID") %>' 
                    />
                    <asp:LinkButton 
                        runat="server" 
                        OnClick="LabelClick" 
                        Text="click me" 
                    />
