Hi,

Im trying to add a copy button in a grid view. First, I made a ButtonField that is working perfectly with a OnRowCommand event. Now, I try to do the samething with an image but I didnt found how to do it. I tried with an ImageButton in a TemplateField but I dont find how to fire the OnRowComment event or any other event (OnClick) that I can trap in the code behind.

Here is a part of the code I used. In this exemple, the ButtonField "Copy" work well and call GridView1_RowCommand in the code behing. But it doesnt work for the templetefield ImageButton.

Thanks for help

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="ObjectDataSource1"

Width="100%" DataKeyNames="UdcTable,Udc">

<Columns>

<asp:TemplateField>

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:ImageButton runat="server" ID="imageButton" ImageUrl="~/Common/Images/copy.gif" CommandName="CopyButton" CommandArgument="Bidon" />

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

<asp:ButtonField Text="Copy" CommandName="CopyButton" />

etc...

I made that sort of thing work with LinkButton.  Inside your item template:

<asp:LinkButton ID="btnCopy" 
     runat="server" 
     CausesValidation="False" 
     OnClick="btnCopy_Click"
     Tooltip="Copy"
     >
     <asp:Image ID="imgBtnCopy" 
         runat="server" 
         ImageUrl="../../images/copy.gif"
     />
</asp:LinkButton>

That help?

Thanks Charles,

 Actually, I think my problem maybe more complex than I tought. I found this article : http://zifiglio.blogspot.com/2006/12/imagebutton-control-nested-in-gridview.html 

I did as it suggest, turning to false the validation, and then I had a postback witn an OnClick. Now, I have to figure what to do with it. I use .net 2.0 and this problem may be solve in 3.0... Im not sure I want to go in this mecanics of binding data on postback only and stuff like that. Im also not sure if I will loose the validation I did. And I have to do again test different solution because I was not aware of this event problem.

Thanks again,

Karl

But mine doesn't use an image button, it uses a link button with an associated image.

Sorry Charles,

 Your solution work!  Im able to raise OnClick and OnCommandRow event now. Because I already have a column calling OnCommandRow, I will put all my code there. Now, I will search how to pass the argument (CommandArgument) to have the key and be able to do the copy job.

 Thanks

No prob.
