Datalist Button Click Event

Question

1.00/5 (1 vote)

I have a datalist with 1 button, but depending on how many records are returned i would like to use Response.Redirect to determine which query string will paear on the following page. Here is an example. On the button clcik event I have.

C#

protected void InstallChecklist_TW_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string Install1Name_TW = ((Label)DataList1.Items[0].FindControl("InstallName_TW")).Text;
               
          Response.Redirect("tespage.aspx?InstallName_TW=" + Install1Name_TW);

     }

This works as expected and passes the querystring. So I guess this would be for my datalist button index 0 and my datalist label index 0. However, at times there will be more than one record and I will need to pass the querystring for button index 1 and label index 1 and so on. How can this be done.

Is there a way That I can say if button index 1 is pressed do this and so on..?

Thanks In Advance.

Just loop through the datalist items and append the data on to the query string??

       string sUrl = String.Empty;
       foreach(DataListItem item in DataList1.Items)
       {

i tried your code but it looks like it is looking for a ";" between lbl.text

Can you post what error you are getting? I wrote this free hand so I might have missed something.

I ended up using the following code:

C#

DataListItem item = (sender as Button).NamingContainer as DataListItem;
string str1 = (item.FindControl("InstallName_TW") as Label).Text;
Response.Redirect("tespage.aspx?InstallName_TW=" + str1);

Thanks everyone for the help!
