I have a search page in asp.net, user searches a book and results are listed in a gridview. I added a button to the right of each gridview result column, and i want to add an event to these buttons, for example, when user clicks the button, that book is loaned. Here is a screenshot of it:
Here is my code:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="SearchResults.aspx.cs" Inherits="Pages_SearchResults" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
</div>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataKeyNames="ISBN" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
onselectedindexchanged="GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Title" HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="Title" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ISBN" HeaderText="ISBN" ReadOnly="True"
SortExpression="ISBN" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="AuthorName" HeaderText="Author Name"
SortExpression="AuthorName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="AuthorlName" HeaderText="Author Last Name"
SortExpression="AuthorlName" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="ItemType" HeaderText="Item Type"
SortExpression="ItemType" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="PublishYear" HeaderText="Publish Year"
SortExpression="PublishYear" />
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" CommandName="LoanItem" Text="Loan Item" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:ConnectionString %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Items] WHERE ([Title] LIKE '%' + @Title + '%')">
<SelectParameters>
<asp:FormParameter FormField="tSearchBox" Name="Title" Type="String" />
</SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And here is the .cs file of this SearchResults page:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
public partial class Pages_SearchResults : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
I added the buttons like the following: Clicked on BUttonField
My question is, how can i add an event to those "Loan Item" buttons? I read this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb498195.aspx but it does not really tell how the event handler is added. I appreciate any help. Thanks
