How to access a textbox text from gridview to a button Onclick event
11,211
You can do like this:
protected void btnSave1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)((Button)sender).NamingContainer;
TextBox TextBox1 = row.FindControl("TextBox1") as TextBox;
//Access TextBox1 here.
string myString = TextBox1.Text;
}

I am having textboxes and buttons in gridview. What I want is that when I click on those buttons the corresponding value in textbox is updated to database, so I need to access the textbox text in OnClick event. How can I do this?
Gridview:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="#CCCCCC" BorderColor="#999999" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="3px" CellPadding="4" CellSpacing="2" ForeColor="Black" OnRowDataBound="GridView1_RowDataBound" onselectedindexchanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged"> <Columns> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Save 1"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Width="30px" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <asp:Button ID="btnSave1" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="btnSave1_Click" /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Save 2"> <ItemTemplate> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" Width="30px" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <asp:Button ID="btnSave2" runat="server" Text="Save" OnClick="btnSave2_Click" /> </ItemTemplate> </asp:TemplateField> </Columns> </asp:GridView>
Button Onclick Event:
protected void btnSave1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //I want to access TextBox1 here. }
Please help me out of this.

e.RowIndex
will not work. -
Ricky Stam over 10 yearson click event trigger Update Command. The website i provided you will give you the details. it's very close to what you want

Aayushi Jain over 10 yearsIn the site example, they are using
FooterTemplate
, can you tell me where I should use it? -
Aayushi Jain over 10 yearsAlthough it is working but I have to create footer for this which I dont want. Do you have any other method?

Ricky Stam over 10 yearsCheck the DeleteCustomer Function and also the Gridview Template. He passes a Command Argument with the value he wants to delete? From your example i don't see any datasource. If you don't have need to present data from database but only save new records you can use simple HTML5 table

Ricky Stam over 10 yearsEither Footer Template or Item Template the code is same there is no difference
