Question

I’m having a problem trying to get the value of the ID item that has been clicked in an asp.net Repeater. My Repeater has an image that opens a dialog, and from that dialog opened, when I click Approve, I would like to get this value in the .cs file when I’m redirected because the ApproveChange_Click event. I’m not doing any DataBinder.Eval to the Id I want to retrieve in the Repeater. How can I accomplish that? If I use session variables, where I can set up the value in the .aspx page and how. Thanks in advance!

This is the Repeater:

<tr class="<%# Container.ItemIndex % 2 != 0 ? "" : "odd" %>">
     <td class ="approval-img"><a class ="approvalDialog" href='#'><img src="/Images/Approve.png" alt ="Approve"/></td></a>
     <td class ="approval-img"><a class ="declineDialog" href='#'><img src="/Images/Decline.png" alt ="Decline"/></td></a>
     ...
</tr>

And this the dialog:

<div id="approval-form" style="display: none; cursor: default">
    <div class="approve-change">
        <ul>
        <li>
            <p><label>Reason</label></p>
            <textarea id="txtReason" runat="server" cols="1" rows="1" class="required"></textarea><br />
        </li>
        <li>
            <span>
            <asp:Button ID="btnApprove" runat="server" CssClass="blue" Text="Approve" ToolTip = "Approve" OnClick="ApproveChange_Click" />
            <button id="btnCancelApprove" class="blue">Cancel</button>
            </span>
        </li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>

Here is the solution that I have found:
First: change the tag in the repeater for ImageButton, for have the chance to send a command argument to the event

<td class ="approval-img"><asp:ImageButton runat="server" CommandArgument = '<%# Eval("aux_approvalId")%>'  OnClick="getApprovalID_approve" ToolTip="Approve" ImageUrl="/Images/Approve.png" /></td>

So, when I’m redirected to OnClick event, with this, I get the ID and after the dialog is opened.

ImageButton btn = (ImageButton)(sender);
Session["ApprovalID"] = btn.CommandArgument;
string script = "OpenApprovalDialog();";
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page), "", script, true);
