GridView Multiple Select Buttons

[Guest]

Good morning!

How do I determine which SELECT button was clicked in a GridView?

The multiple SELECT buttons will be used for an application approval process.

Thank you in advance for your support in this matter.

I would use checkboxes on each row to select the row and then click on a
button that triggers the approval process. You may look at this example for
the code to do such a GridView:

Thank you for the alternative method in establishing an approval process.

However, could you provide me with an idea on how to accomplish determining
which SELECT button was clicked within a GridView.

Again, thanks!

When a Select button is clicked a SelectedIndexChanged event is triggered.
You can consume that event like this article explained to get the selected
row:

This would allow you to select one row at a time.

Use SelectedRow

Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As
Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged
' Get the currently selected row using the SelectedRow
property.
Dim row As GridViewRow = GridView1.SelectedRow
Page.Title = "You selected " & row.Cells(1).Text
End Sub

Phillip, currently I am using several SELECT buttons in my GridView. As a
result, I am trying to determine which SELECT button within the Gridview was
clicked.

Again, could you provide a VB sample code for this solution.

Thank you for your assistance.

When you say "several SELECT buttons", do you mean one Select button per
GridView row or more than one Select button per row?

If the former then the previous MSDN link I posted applies.

But, if you mean more than one Select button per GridView row, then you are
not using this command properly. There should be only one Select button per
GridView row. Consider the ButtonField; each ButtonField performs a specific
command based on its CommandName property.
