Question

xml:Button in my datagrid

<DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Update">
    <DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Button Content="Update" Name="btnEmpGridUpdate" Tag="{Binding Path = EMPID}" Click="btnEmpGridUpdate_Click" ></Button>
        </DataTemplate>
    </DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
</DataGridTemplateColumn>

code in button event :

Object Id = new Object();
Id =  ((Button)sender).Tag;

Is that a possible way to retrieve all cell’s value of a selected row ? If , how can I do this ? Or else , please suggest me some other way to update in my dataset from datagrid. Thanks in advance . 🙂

Use these helper functions;

On your Update button, hook up Click event, and in the handler, do something like this:

//youll need to google for GetVisualParent function.
DataGridRow row = GetVisualParent<DataGridRow>(button);
for(int j = 0; j < dataGrid.Columns.Count; j++)
   DataGridCell cell = GetCell(dataGrid, row, j);

I didn’t completely understand what you wanted to do, but this should help.
