How to get a e.CommandArgument from a row in a gridview while using a dropdownlist inside it in asp.net c#?
recently I asked a similar question, which you can find in the link below
Using Dropdownlist in a gridview Asp.Net?
I have a gridview that looks like this...
<asp:GridView ID="grdvEventosVendedor" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4" DatakeyNames="idCita"
EmptyDataText="No Hay Eventos Para Este Vendedor" ForeColor="#333333"
GridLines="None" AllowSorting="True"
onpageindexchanging="grdvEventosVendedor_PageIndexChanging"
onrowcommand="grdvEventosVendedor_RowCommand"
onsorting="grdvEventosVendedor_Sorting" CellSpacing="1"
onrowdatabound="grdvEventosVendedor_RowDataBound" >
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775"/>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="" ItemStyle-Width="35px">

</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

</asp:GridView>
As mentioned in the link, I had to manually add some code, like OnSelectedIndexChanged="dpdListEstado_SelectedIndexChanged" AutoPostBack="True" and also add this on the cs file...
protected void dpdListEstado_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
I have tried it and it did work, whenever I change the value of a ddl, it does enter to the void int the cs file...
however now I have a question...
I need the Id from the record that it's stored in a specific row (idCita, as in the buttons I have which use a CommandArgument)... that way can use another class I have which would trigger a query that would edit a field called Estado....
However, I noticed that when I use CommandArguments, I use another void called...
protected void grdvEventosVendedor_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
int intIdCita = int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString());
if (e.CommandName == "Edicion")
{
//Some Code
}
else if (e.CommandName == "Borrar")
{
//More Code
}
else if (e.CommandName == "CRM")
{
//Even More Code
}
else if (e.CommandName == "VerMas")
{
//....
}
}
with this I can call both e.CommandName which tells me which button I pressed, and e.CommandArgument which is the value for idCita... however I noticed that the ddl void that I previously showed you doesnt have a GridViewCommandEventArgs e, instead it has a EventArgs e...
Is there a way that I can get the value of idCita from the gridview, all the way to the ddl void??
What do I need to add in the gridview code and in the cs file??
Thanks

Refactor you're code something like this - it should get you most of the way there, additionally look at converting the else if statements to a more readable switch case statement...
protected void dpdListEstado_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
GridViewRow gvr = (GridViewRow)(((Control)sender).NamingContainer);
MeaningfulNameHere(int.Parse(grdvEventosVendedor.DataKeys[gvr.RowIndex]),"Estado");
}
protected void grdvEventosVendedor_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
MeaningfulNameHere(int.Parse(e.CommandArgument.ToString()),e.CommandName);
}
private void MeaningfulNameHere(int id, string commandName)
{
if (commandName == "Edicion")
{
//Some Code
}
else if (commandName == "Borrar")
{
//More Code
}
else if (commandName == "CRM")
{
//Even More Code
}
else if (commandName == "VerMas")
{
//....
}
else if (commandName == "Estado")
{
}
}
