Hi dev_here,

If you need any further assistance with the matter please do not hesitate to ask.

Hello dev_here,

You can get the value of column with key "ID" like this:

int id = Int32.Parse(e.CurrentSelectedRows[0].Items.FindItemByKey("ID").Text);

Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

I dont think I made myself very clear. I have 3 columns in my grid. Id, name and address. I want the name to be a clickable link which opens up a new window with some details. So how can i handle this . As in the example you provided I can click the entire row and it does not allow for a specific name to be the only one that can be clicked to open in a new window

Hello,

You can achieve this using TemplatedDataField:

<ig:TemplateDataField Key="Name">

    <ItemTemplate>

        <a onclick="link()" href="#"><%# DataBinder.Eval(((Infragistics.Web.UI.TemplateContainer)Container).DataItem, "Name") %></a>

    </ItemTemplate>

    <Header Text="Name" />

</ig:TemplateDataField>

On click of the link you could open new window from BLOCKED SCRIPT

function link() {

    window.open("Default2.aspx", "_blank");

}

Please let me know if this helps.

What if i need this hyperlink column to be in a child grid using manual on demand?

Can you give me an example of how I would then define the column in child grid?

Hi dev_here,

You could create a TemplatedDataField in the child grid like in the RowIslandPopulating event handler like this:

TemplateDataField col = new TemplateDataField();
col.ItemTemplate = new ActionChildItemTemplate();
col.Key = "TemplatedColumn";

And here is sample ActionChildItemTemplate class:

public class ActionChildItemTemplate : ITemplate
{

#region ITemplate Member

    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
        link.ID = "link";
        link.ForeColor = Color.Blue;

        container.Controls.Add(link);
    }

#endregion

}

Hope this helps.

No i tried enabling viewstate and it doesnt help.i need to define the columns of child grid in the code.

Hello,

I would suggest you to try enabling viewstate or defining the template column in the markup.

Let me know if this helps.

Ok I can sort the column using the sample you provided. But after I sort once all the rows in that column disappear(the ones with the hyperlinks)Is this beacuse they are defined in InitializeRow?

Even if i disable sort on this column and enable sort on all other columns, this seems to happen the same way..Rows qith hyperlinks disappear..Please help!
