LinkButton In Gridview

[Waynest]

Hello mates

I have a linkbutton column in a gridview. It shows order numbers & I want to go to another page showing the order lines when one of the order number links is clicked

Ive used the following code but the value of Cells[0] is always blank. I think this would work if it were a normal cell but not here because its a button. I need to reference it a different way?


protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)

{
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow selectedRow = GridView1.Rows[index];
TableCell OrderNo = selectedRow.Cells[0];
Session["OrderNo"] = OrderNo.Text;
Response.Redirect("my other page");

}

Heres how for anyone else, thanks for reading

int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);
GridViewRow selectedRow = GridView1.Rows[index];
TableCell OrderNo = selectedRow.Cells[0];
Session["OrderNo"] = ((LinkButton)selectedRow.Cells[0].Controls[0]).Text;
Response.Redirect("~");

Why are you using a LinkButton? It seems a rather convoluted way to have to go back to the server just to redirect the user.

I'd use a HyperLinkField and set the values there which will redirect the user without the postback e.g.

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~\OtherPage.aspx?Id={0}" DataNavigateUrlFields="Id" Text="View Order Lines" />
