Contents of ButtonColumn and HyperLinkColumn

[treilly via DotNetMonster.com]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to get the contents OUT of a ButtonColumn item or a
HyperLinkColumn Item in C#?
For BoundColumns, it's extremely easy - e.items.cells[0].Text.
This does not work with ButtonColumns or HyperLinkColumns.
It should be SO simple, yet I've searched forever on google and have not been
able to find what I'm looking for.
Thanks in advance!

It depends where you get it. For example, in Datagrid_ItemCommand event,
e.CommandName might be what you need for CommandButton. In
DataGrid_ItemDataBound event, you need cast
e.Item.Cells[col_index].Controls[0] (or e.item.FindControl("control_Name"))
to specified type first, then get its Text property:



LinkButton linkBtn = (LinkButton)e.Item.Cells[col_index].Controls[0];

String name = linkBtn.Text;
