Get text of ASP.NET HyperLinkField in GridView

Question

I\'m trying to get the text of a HyperLinkField in a GridView\'s OnRowDelete event (the HyperLinkField\'s text is the primary key of the row I wish to delete). I understand

Answer 1

Another alternative method of getting the text value of a hyperlink:

Server.HtmlDecode((teamGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Controls[0] as HyperLink).Text)

Answer 2

Instead of

teamGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Text;

Try

( (HyperLink) teamGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Controls[0] ).Text

Just can't avoid advising you to change the way you put all SQL directly in your page like this. Try leaning about N tier development. MSDN and asp.NET website and channel9.msdn have good videos to start with. Also, http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu

Answer 3

((HyperLink)teamGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Controls[0] ).Text 

will give the text or displayed value of the field. Alternatively we can try

((HyperLink)teamGridView.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[0].Controls[0] ).NavigateUrl

for getting the target link.
