Question

So my gridview has two columns BookID and BookName how can i retrieve the value of the BookID based on this event?

   protected void myGridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)

The Other question I had is, my application has thee Tabs (Using Telerik) when I am in the fourth tab which is where I have my gridview and I click on any button, it posts back and sends me to the first tab.. how can I control this?

Thank you very much 🙂

If you utilize the CommandArgument value and set it in a TemplateField to be the BookId value, then OnRowCommand you can use that value in your event handler.

Something like this should do the trick.

ASPX:

<asp:GridView ID="myGridView" runat="server" onrowcommand="myGridView_RowCommand">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:LinkButton ID="myLinkButton" runat="server" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("BookId") %>'>Do Stuff</asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Id" DataField="BookId" />
        <asp:BoundField HeaderText="Name" DataField="BookName" />
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

C# code-behind:

protected void myGridView_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
    int bookID = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
    // Do Stuff
}

On selecting a specific Tab using the Telerik RadTabStrip

check this post How to change progmatically active Tab in RadTabStrip/RadMultiPage? – TabStrip Forum – ASP.NET Controls

looks to be a matter of setting the Selected property for the TabItem and if you’re using a MultiPage you’ll also need to set the SelectedIndex of that control

radTabStrip1.Tabs.Item( 2 ).Selected = true;
radMultiPage1.SelectedIndex = 2;
