Pass Selected Row of ASP.Net GridView control to another Page


HTML Markup
In the following HTML Markup there’s an Asp.Net GridView control with a Button to select the row. Also I have added a Button which will send the Asp.Net GridView Selected Row to the other page when clicked.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" Font-Names="Arial"
Font-Size="10pt">
<Columns>
    <asp:BoundField ItemStyle-Width="150px" DataField="CustomerID" HeaderText="CustomerID" />
    <asp:BoundField ItemStyle-Width="150px" DataField="City" HeaderText="City" />
    <asp:BoundField ItemStyle-Width="150px" DataField="PostalCode" HeaderText="PostalCode" />
    <asp:TemplateField>
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Button ID="btnSelect" runat="server" Text="Select" CommandName = "Select" />
    </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:Button ID="btnSend" runat="server" Text="Send Selected Row" OnClick = "Send" />
 
 
Passing the Selected Row to the other page
When the send button is clicked it first checks whether the GridView Row has a Selected Row or not. If the GridView has a Selected Row it does a Server.Transfer to the Page2.aspx. I am doing Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect since withServer.Transfer we can reference the previous page and its controls. And if the user has not selected any row in the ASP.Net GridView we ask him to select one using a JavaScript alert.
Finally on Page2.aspx the data from the cells of the Selected Row of the ASP.Net GridView is displayed. 

C#
protected void Send(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (GridView1.SelectedRow != null)
    {
        Server.Transfer("~/Page2.aspx");
    }
    else
    {
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "alert", "alert('Please select a row.')", true);
    }
}
 
 
VB.Net
 
Protected Sub Send(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    If GridView1.SelectedRow IsNot Nothing Then
        Server.Transfer("~/Page2.aspx")
    Else
        ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.[GetType](), "alert", "alert('Please select a row.')", True)
    End If
End Sub
 
Now on Page2.aspx we fetch the ASP.Net GridView SelectedRow in the following way
 
C#
 
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.Page.PreviousPage != null)
    {
        GridView GridView1 = (GridView)this.Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("GridView1");
        GridViewRow selectedRow = GridView1.SelectedRow;
        Response.Write("CustomerId: " + selectedRow.Cells[0].Text + "<br />");
        Response.Write("City: " + selectedRow.Cells[1].Text + "<br />");
        Response.Write("PostalCode: " + selectedRow.Cells[2].Text);
    }
}
 
 
VB.Net
 
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
    If Me.Page.PreviousPage IsNot Nothing Then
        Dim GridView1 As GridView = DirectCast(Me.Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("GridView1"), GridView)
        Dim selectedRow As GridViewRow = GridView1.SelectedRow
        Response.Write("CustomerId: " + selectedRow.Cells(0).Text & "<br />")
        Response.Write("City: " + selectedRow.Cells(1).Text & "<br />")
        Response.Write("PostalCode: " + selectedRow.Cells(2).Text)
    End If
End Sub

Scrollable GridView with Fixed Headers using jQuery Plugin

Using the same example I have created a jQuery Plugin for Scrollable GridView with Fixed header so that you can directly make a GridView scrollable.   HTML Markup < form   id ="form1"   runat ="server"> < asp : GridView   ID ="GridView1"   runat ="server"   AutoGenerateColumns   =   "false"> < Columns > < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "ContactName"   HeaderText   =   "Contact Name"   /> < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "City"   HeaderText   =   "City"   /> < asp : BoundField   DataField   =   "Country"   HeaderText   =   "Country"   /> Columns > asp : GridView > form >   Applying the Scrollable Grid jQuery Plugin < script   src ="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js"   type ="text/javascript"> script > < script   src ="Scripts/Scro...

GRIDVIEW GROUPING

When displaying data, we sometimes would like to group data for better user experience or when displaying long list of hierarchal data, we would want to display them in a tree view kind of structure. There is more than way of doing this, but I am going to explain achieving this functionality using  AJAX Collapsible Panel Extender Control . Overview: I am going to use  Adventure Works  as datasource. Every product in  Production.Product  table belongs to a product sub category. We fetch handful of products and the sub categories they belong to from the database. Our objective is to list all the available sub categories and allow user to  expand/collapse  to look/hide the list of products belonging to each subcategory. Database Connection Added following entry under  connectionStrings  element in  web.config . < add   name = "Sql"   connectionString="Data Source=(local); Initial  Catalog = AdventureWorks ...

ADO.NET Concepts With example

COMMAND OBJECT  Command object is the biggest object in ADO.NET  It is the only object which can perform actions with database  It  can be created directly using Command class or can be created using Connection.Create command (factory classes also contain creation of Command). Ex:  SqlConnection sqlCon = new SqlConnection("......");    SqlCommand sqlCmd = sqlCon.CreateCommand();  Commands that we run depend upon the kind of query that we want to execute with database. All databases support two types of queries. i. Action Queries ii. Non-action Queries Action queries are those which change the state of database and which don‟t return any query results(though they return the number of records affected). Ex: Insert, Delete and Update statements Non-action queries are those which don‟t affect the database but return the results to the user. Ex: Select statement Method of execution of queries: Command object provides the following methods to execute queries: 1. Ex...
