e.command="Select"

[ypul]

I have a datagrid
now in my Datagrid I have select column(0),
with text field as ID, so that user can click on Id.
now when the user clicks on Id I want the Id text

private Sub dg_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles dg.ItemCommand

If e.CommandName = "Select" Then

e.Item.Cells(0).Text 'I want this value which is actually the select column

'above line give me blank ,"".

End If

How should I get the value of select column ?

I get the values for other columns but not for select column using "e.Item.Cells(0).Text"

hmm, not sure why you can't get it from the button column - you may need to cast it or something.
As a test, try create a BoundColumn before the Button column that contains the value your trying to Retrieve.
You can set the visibility to false if you don't want it to be seen,
then e.Item.Cells(0).Text should work

so:

<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="CustomerCode" ></asp:BoundColumn> <!-- leave as visible to start off with so you can see the data is actually there -->
<asp:ButtonColumn DataTextField="CustomerCode" SortExpression="CustomerCode" HeaderText="Customer Code" CommandName="Select"></asp:ButtonColumn>
...
</Columns>
