How to get row data by clicking a button in a row in an ASP.NET gridview

I have a `GridView` in a ASP.NET web application, in which I have added two buttons in each row:

<!-- language: lang-html -->

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="btnEdit" Text="Edit" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" Text="Delete" runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>

Now how I can get the row data from gridview simply by clicking an edit button in a row?

<asp:Button ID="btnEdit" Text="Edit" runat="server" OnClick="btnEdit_Click" CssClass="CoolButtons"/>


protected void btnEdit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Button btnEdit = (Button)sender;
GridViewRow Grow = (GridViewRow)btnEdit.NamingContainer;
TextBox txtledName = (TextBox)Grow.FindControl("txtAccountName");
HyperLink HplnkDr = (HyperLink)Grow.FindControl("HplnkDr");
TextBox txtnarration = (TextBox)Grow.FindControl("txtnarration");
//Get the gridview Row Details
}


And Same As for Delete button

Place the `commandName` in .aspx page

<asp:Button ID="btnDelete" Text="Delete" runat="server" CssClass="CoolButtons" CommandName="DeleteData"/>

Subscribe the `rowCommand` event for the grid and you can try like this,

protected void grdBillingdata_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "DeleteData")
{
GridViewRow row = (GridViewRow)(((Button)e.CommandSource).NamingContainer);
HiddenField hdnDataId = (HiddenField)row.FindControl("hdnDataId");
}
}

You can also use button click event like this:

<!-- language: lang-html -->

<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
OnClick="MyButtonClick" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

<!-- language: lang-cs -->

protected void MyButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Get the button that raised the event
Button btn = (Button)sender;

//Get the row that contains this button
GridViewRow gvr = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
}

### OR

You can do like this to get data:

<!-- language: lang-cs -->

void CustomersGridView_RowCommand(Object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{

// If multiple ButtonField column fields are used, use the
// CommandName property to determine which button was clicked.
if(e.CommandName=="Select")
{
// Convert the row index stored in the CommandArgument
// property to an Integer.
int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

// Get the last name of the selected author from the appropriate
// cell in the GridView control.
GridViewRow selectedRow = CustomersGridView.Rows[index];
}
}

and Button in gridview should have command like this and handle rowcommand event:

<!-- language: lang-html -->

<asp:gridview id="CustomersGridView"
datasourceid="CustomersSqlDataSource"
autogeneratecolumns="false"
onrowcommand="CustomersGridView_RowCommand"
runat="server">

<columns>
<asp:buttonfield buttontype="Button"
commandname="Select"
headertext="Select Customer"
text="Select"/>
</columns>
</asp:gridview>

Is there any specific reason you would want your buttons in an item template.You can alternatively do it the following way , there by giving you the full power of the grid row editing event.You are also given a bonus of wiring easily the cancel and delete functionality.

**Mark up**

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Edit">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="EditImageButton" runat="server" CommandName="Edit"
ImageUrl="~/images/Edit.png" Style="height: 16px" ToolTip="Edit"
CausesValidation="False" />

</ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTemplate>

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnUpdate" runat="server" CommandName="Update"
Text="Update" Visible="true" ImageUrl="~/images/saveHS.png"
/>
<asp:LinkButton ID="btnCancel" runat="server" CommandName="Cancel"
ImageUrl="~/images/Edit_UndoHS.png" />

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnDelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete"
ImageUrl="~/images/delete.png" />

</EditItemTemplate>


<ControlStyle BackColor="Transparent" BorderStyle="None" />
<FooterStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</asp:TemplateField>

**Code behind**

protected void GridView1_RowEditing(object sender, GridViewEditEventArgs e)
{

GridView1.EditIndex = e.NewEditIndex;
GridView1.DataBind();

TextBox txtledName = (TextBox) GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex].FindControl("txtAccountName");

//then do something with the retrieved textbox's text.

}

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"
OnClick="MyButtonClick" />
</ItemTemplate>

and your method

protected void MyButtonClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//Get the button that raised the event
Button btn = (Button)sender;

//Get the row that contains this button
GridViewRow gvr = (GridViewRow)btn.NamingContainer;
}

<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="LnKB" Text='edit' OnClick="LnKB_Click" >
</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

protected void LnKB_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
LinkButton lb = sender as LinkButton;

GridViewRow clickedRow = ((LinkButton)sender).NamingContainer as GridViewRow;
int x = clickedRow.RowIndex;
int id = Convert.ToInt32(yourgridviewname.Rows[x].Cells[0].Text);
lbl.Text = yourgridviewname.Rows[x].Cells[2].Text;
}

protected void btnS10_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (GridViewRow row in Grd.Rows)
{
CheckBox chk_Single = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("ChkSendOne");
if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string id = (row.Cells[0].FindControl("lblSNo") as Label).Text;
if (Convert.ToInt32(id) <= 10)
{

chk_Single.Checked = true;
if (chk_Single.Checked == true)
{
lblSelectedRecord.InnerText = (Convert.ToInt32(lblSelectedRecord.InnerText) + 1).ToString();
}
}
}
}
}
