Check if hyperlink in gridview has been clicked c#

Hi I would like to know how to get the text field and index from a hyperlink in a gridview that has been clicked. Basically, the user would click on the hyperlink in the gridview and when the user has been navigated to the link, the text field and index of the link would be stored into an arraylist. Does anyone have any idea how I can go about doing this?
I have came up with this "pseudo code" for the onrowdatabound event handler in gridview:
ArrayList linksClicked = new ArrayList();
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
HyperLink hl = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("links");
if (hl != null)
{
linksClicked.Add(h1.ToString());
}
}

You should use ItemTemplate with LinkButton. In this button you can keep index or id like CommandArgument, also you easily catch event onClick and add index to your array. Use this sample.
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="hyperLinkButton" Text="link" PostBackUrl="youruri.com" runat="server"
CommandArgument="<%# Eval("SomeFieldYouNeedArguementFrom") %>" OnClick="hyperLinkButton_Click" >
</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
protected void hyperLinkButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LinkButton btn = (LinkButton)(sender);
string yourValue = btn.CommandArgument;
// do what you need here
}

My checkbox on the gridview doesn't trigger an event

I created my gridview with checkboxes inside of it with this code.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" Width="366px" autogeneratecolumn="false">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="SelectAllCheckBox" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" oncheckedchanged="SelectAllCheckBox_OnCheckedChanged" />
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox ID="EachCheckBox" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I tried check/uncheck it.
enter link description here
protected void SelectAllCheckBox_OnCheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String test = "test";
test = "newtest";
GridView1.DataSource = null;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
But it doesn't trigger any event.
enter link description here
I'm trying to find where my code is missing and searched so far but still can't.
Thank you for your help!

You must use OnItemCreated or OnItemDataBound and link your checkbox with your delegate
void Item_Created(Object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
CheckBox cbx = (CheckBox)e.Item.FindControl("SelectAllCheckBox");
cbx.CheckedChanged += SelectAllCheckBox_OnCheckedChanged;
}

The code looks fine and works for me.
I suspect you might be binding the GridView on every postback.
When you click the CheckBox with the event attached it causes the page to refresh. If you bind the CheckBox on Page_Load (or any method that occurs on every trip to the server) it will bind the grid every time you click the CheckBox. In this case it will never get as far as firing your event.
If so, try checking for a postback before binding your GridView.
For example:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
Gridview1.DataSource = myDataSource;
GridView1.DataBind();
}
}

I want to delete record from GridView.Before to this ask for confirmation like "Are you sure to delete?"

I want to delete record from GridView.Before to this ask for confirmation like "Are you sure to delete?"
I used command field in GridView,
<asp:CommandField HeaderText="Delete" ShowDeleteButton="True" />
I wrote a function in javascript
function confirm_Delete()
{
var r = confirm("Are you sure you want to Remove this Record!");
if (r == true)
{
alert("Record Deleted");
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
How I will call this on delete click.
Kindly suggest !

You can't achieve this using the command field, you have to make a template field:
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbtnDelete" runat="server" CommandName="Delete" Text="Delete"
OnClientClick="javascript:return confirm('Are you sure you want to Remove this Record!');">
</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
It will behave the same way you are doing currently with the Command Field.

I would do the same as #Muhammad told you, and at the server side code for deleting I would also register an script for showing the "Record Deleted" message, as follows;
public void MethodForDeletingARecord()
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.Page, base.GetType(), "RecordDeletedMessage", "javascript:alert('Record Deleted');", true);
}

I think you can achieve this for commandfield
Assuming it would be the first column, Found Here
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// reference the Delete LinkButton
LinkButton db = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0];
db.OnClientClick = "javascript:return confirm('Are you certain you want to delete?');"
}
}

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
((LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[0].Controls[0]).Attributes.Add("onclick", "return Conformation();");
}
}

Want to bind querystring in postbackurl of imagebutton in gridview?

when i try to databind the '<%#Eval("EntryID") %>' to the ImageButton's postbackurl as
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnEdit" runat="server" CommandName="Edit" CommandArgument='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"SystemEmailID")%>'
ImageUrl="~/Images/edit-list.gif" PostBackUrl="~/Edit_SyatemEmails.aspx?blogentry=edit&id=<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"SystemEmailID")%>"/>
it's failed, then i updated the code to
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnBlogEntryEdit" PostBackUrl='"~/admin/BlogEntry.aspx?blogentry=edit&entryid=" & <%# Eval("EntryID") %>' SkinID="edit" runat="server" />
well,the above code has pass the debugging,but failed to databind to the postbackurl,the result as
http://localhost/dovoshow/"~/admin/BlogEntry.aspx?blogentry=edit&entryid="%20&%20<%#%20Eval("EntryID")%20%>
so,anyonw know how to solve it ,help me thanks

It should be like...
PostBackUrl='<%# Eval("SystemEmailID", "Edit_SyatemEmails.aspx?id={0}"
+ "&blogentry=" + Request.QueryString["edit"]) %>'

I would suggest you to do it in the code behind.
On GridView RowCreated event:
protected void GridView_OnRowCreated(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
(e.Row.FindControl("ibtnEdit") as ImageButton). PostBackUrl = "~/Edit_SyatemEmails.aspx?blogentry=edit&id=" + DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "SystemEmailID"))
}
}

The FormView fired event ModeChanging which wasn't handled.

Ok, so I'm struggling with using asp:formview.
I've got the formview up and running and I've added the 'Edit' button.
<asp:FormView runat="server" id="fwHotelDetails" DataKeyNames="id" OnDataBound="fwHotelDetails_DataBound" OnModeChanging="fwHotelDetails_ModeChanging" >
<ItemTemplate>
// (..) some code here which outputs some data
<asp:Repeater runat="server" id="repScore">
<ItemTemplate>
<span class="item"> Some output here</span>
<asp:LinkButton ID="EditButton" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="Edit" Text="Edit" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
<EditItemTemplate>
Test test, anything??
</EditItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
I've tried thefollowing solutions in the code behind - none of them works:
protected void fwHotelDetails_ItemCommand(object sender, FormViewModeEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName.Equals("Edit"))
{
fwHotelDetails.ChangeMode(e.NewMode);
}
}
and this:
protected void fwHotelDetails_ModeChanging(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DetailsViewModeEventArgs e)
{
fwHotelDetails.ChangeMode((FormViewMode)e.NewMode);
}
Clicking the Edit button only gives me the following error message:
The FormView 'fwHotelDetails' fired event ModeChanging which wasn't handled
What more needs to be done?
This page is a great reference for FormView controller: http://authors.aspalliance.com/aspxtreme/sys/web/ui/webcontrols/FormViewClass.aspx
Update: I've updated code to refelct Phaedrus suggestion.
Current status is that even after clicking Edit button, the content from ItemTemplate is loaded.

You have to specify which method handles the ModeChanging event. This event is raised when a FormView control attempts to switch between edit, insert, and read-only mode, but before the mode actually changes.
<asp:FormView OnModeChanging="fwHotelDetails_ModeChanging" />
The second parameter of your method signature is 'DetailsViewModeEventArgs' it should be 'FormViewModeEventArgs'.
void fwHotelDetails_ModeChanging(Object sender, FormViewModeEventArgs e)
{
}

Just Simply write code in formview's Item_Command
protected void formview_ItemCommand(object sender, FormViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
{
formview.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.Edit;
formview.DataBind();
}
if (e.CommandName == "Cancel")
{
formview.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.ReadOnly;
formview.DataBind();
}
}
