I currently have a LinkButton in the ItemTemplate of a ListView. Each button in the ListView should call the same click event handler. However, in the handler I need to know which button was clicked. Is this possible?
<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="lvKeyGroup">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table>
<asp:Placeholder runat="server" ID="itemPlaceholder" />
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td>[<asp:LinkButton runat="server" Text="Remove" OnClick="lbRemoveAuthGroup_Click" />]</td>
<td><%# Eval("AuthorizationGroup") %></td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>
Add CommandName
property to each LinkButton
and handle ListView's ItemCommand
event.
Also you need to set ListView's DataKeys
property to your datasource object unique identifier name. The you can get selected row datakey:
void ListView1_ItemCommand(object sender, ListViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
// in assumption that your data item's unique identifier type is Int32
var dataKey = (int)ListView1.DataKeys[e.Item.DataItemIndex].Value;
switch(e.CommandName)
{
case "Remove":
// your code here
break;
}
}
