RadioButtonList In A DataGrid Cell - Can I find the selected button without editing the cell?

[Empire City]

I have an ASP.NET form with a DataGrid and Button. I want to put a
RadioButtonList in a DataGrid cell. I bind it to an ArrayList which has a
ListItem in the cell. The display part works fine. I then check some boxes
and hit the submit button. I can't seem to get the value that is selected on
the RadioButton List. I don't want to use the EditTemplate thing I just want
to click on the radiobutton and submit the form. I also don't want to do
autopostbacks when I click on a button. Can this be done?

I looked at this link:
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;320707[/url]

I modified the code to work with a RadioButton List not just a RadioButton.
However from each RadioButton List when I cycle throug the GridItems it
tells me that one of the buttons in the list was selected but I can't seem
to get which one.

Here is my test:

blist1.Add(li1);

ListItem li2 = new ListItem("bbb", "222");

blist1.Add(li2);

ListItem li3 = new ListItem("ccc", "333");

blist1.Add(li3);


ArrayList blist2 = new ArrayList();

ListItem li4 = new ListItem("ddd");

blist2.Add(li4);

blist3.Add(li9);



ArrayList alist1 = new ArrayList();

GridList gl1 = new GridList("aaaaaaaaaaa", blist1);

alist1.Add(gl1);

GridList gl2 = new GridList("bbbbbbbbbbb", blist2);

alist1.Add(gl2);

GridList gl3 = new GridList("ccccccccccc", blist3);

alist1.Add(gl3);

DataGrid1.DataSource = alist1;

DataGrid1.DataBind();

}

}

foreach(DataGridItem DemoGridItem in DataGrid1.Items)

{

RadioButtonList myRadioButtonList =

(RadioButtonList)DemoGridItem.Cells[1].Controls[1];

bool b4 = myRadioButtonList.Items[1].Selected;

int b1;

b1 = myRadioButtonList.SelectedIndex;

ListItem b2 = new ListItem();

b2 = myRadioButtonList.SelectedItem;

int b3 = 2;

}

}

}

RadioButtinlist has the following properties:

SelectedItem,

SelectedValue,

SelectedIndex

You can use these properties.

For some reason SelecteItem, etc. come up as nothing or null. If you look at
the line in my code below

> bool b4 = myRadioButtonList.Items[1].Selected;

I tried all sorts of different settings and when it's in a DataGrid it only
seems to return selected if one of the buttons in the list is selected.
Trying all the suggested things below they all come back empty and I can't
seem to get the SelectedItem. I've worked with RadioButtonLists a lot but
not in the DataGrid.

Hi Michael

Thanks for your help. A bit of persistance and I figured it out. I did not
properly set the DataTextField and DataValueField properties of the
RadioButtonList in the DataGrid item template. I looked at the source output
and saw the value="" and that told me I need to set that.

Thank you.
