I have a grid in which i have two template fields with link buttons, on row databound of the grid event i want to get the client id of only these two columns, i want to apply some javascript for only these two columns.

Dim singleClickButton As LinkButton = DirectCast(e.Row.Cells(3).Controls(0), LinkButton)

but im not able to get the clientid of these link button controls

my javascript is being applied to complete row, which i dont want. i just want to apply this java script to particular columns.

any ideas as to where im going wrong.

Try to find out the link button control on RowDataBound:

if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)

{

LinkButton singleClickButton = (LinkButton) e.Row.FindControl("YourLinkButtonname");

if(singleClickButton != null)

{

/*You want to add javascript function on this link button*/

singleClickButton.Attributes.Add("onclick", "YourJavaScriptfunction(' " + singleClickButton.ClientID + " ');");

}

}

}

Let me know if it helps.

 In order to apply javascript to the columns or cells you need to use RowdataBound Function of your gridview. try the code below..

        If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

             e.Row.Cells(3).Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "JavascriptFunction1()")
             e.Row.Cells(3).Attributes.Add("onmouseout", "JavascriptFunction2()")

        End If

Hope its is helpful.
