retrieving text from a selected data grid row cell...

[Daniel Bass]

this was working

Dim szMsgNumber = db_grid.SelectedItem.Cells(0).Text



until i changed the first column (at index 0) to a ASP:ButtonColumn from a
boundcolumn...



now it just returns blank text every time...



how do i retrieve text from a buttoncolumn cell??

Dim linkbtnMsgNumber As LinkButton =
db_grid.SelectedItem.Cells(0).Controls(0)

Dim szMsgNumber = linkbtnMsgNumber.Text
