Question

I’m using a FormView and binding it to a SqlDataSource using a stored procedure to edit a record. The thing is that after updating the record I need to call another function, which I’m doing using the onClick attribute of the button.

This function has to insert a few records into another table, using the ID of the record edited in the FormView. I know how to use SCOPE_IDENTITY when in the same stored procedure, but this time I need some logic that is easier to accomplish in the code-behind, but I don’t know how to obtain the ID, so any leads would be great.

Here is the button:

 <asp:Button ID="EditButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" CommandName="Update"
                            Text="Edit" OnClick="setProcessProgress" />

And here is a stripped down version of the code behind:

protected void setProcessProgress(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   int ID_p;
   ID_p = ; //TODO: Here I need to obtain the ID of the last edited record from the EditButton
   setProgress(ID_p);
}

The stored procedure is a simple UPDATE statement.

I’m thinking of passing a parameter to the code behind, but not sure how to, perhaps something like this OnClick="setProcessProgress(@id)"

try like this, and you need to attach OnCommand="CommandEventHandler" event handler to your button . check for More Info Button.Command

<asp:Button ID="EditButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="True" CommandName="Update"
                            Text="Edit"  
           CommandArgument="1"
           OnCommand="CommandBtn_Click" />

and the code for to get the ID

protected void CommandBtn_Click(Object sender, CommandEventArgs e) 

{ if (e.CommandName == "Update")
   {
      yourID =Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument); 
   }
}
