Question

Is there a way to get the value from gridview and then paste it in a textbox in formview? I’m trying to get the selected datakeys like ID, firstname, lastname and insert it on a textbox in formview (i’ve set the defaultmode to ‘insert’). I’ve tried it with a textbox by using the SelectedIndexMethod but how can I do it in formview textbox while in ‘insert’ mode?

Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The GridView1.SelectedDataKey.Value will give you what you are looking for.

In your formView, it will be like:

<asp:TextBox Text='<%#GridView1.SelectedDataKey.Value %>'></asp:TextBox>

Edit:

 <asp:TextBox Text='<%#GridView1.Rows[GridView1.SelectedIndex].Cells[0].Text %>'></asp:TextBox>
 // Cells[0] column index of your Gridview
