Open a new page using the Select hyperlink in a datagrid

I have a datagrid that contains information with a Select hyperlink for each row. How do I reprogram the Select hyperlink to open another form and load that particular record, i.e., it needs to get the column that contains the key and load the record into a FormView?

Thanks

Put the following code in the DataGrid's ItemDataBound event:

If Not e.Item.FindControl("LinkButtonID") Is Nothing Then
Dim lbtn As LinkButton
lbtn = e.Item.FindControl("LinkButtonID")
If Not lbtn Is Nothing Then
lbtn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open('AddTaskPopup.aspx')")
End If
End If

or

If e.Item.ID = "Select" Then
e.Item.Attributes.Add("onclick", "window.open('AddTaskPopup.aspx')")
End If

Hi,

Thanks for that info. I am using C# and there is no ItemDataBound event in C#. There is a DataBound event but it doesn't seem to expose E.Item.FindControl.

it's ItemDataBound

Sorry,

I stated that I am using a DataGrid when I am actually using DataGridView. The DataGridView doesn't seem to support those properties.

Thanks
