How to store cell value of an Asp.Net GridView row on click in a C# variable

Question

I am having a GridView in my page , I want that when a particular row is clicked I want the cell value of that particular row.Currently I get that that value by using something like this ,

protected void SearchRecordGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
            {


                e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location='ModifyCustomerByCategory.aspx?ApplicationNo=" + e.Row.Cells[0].Text + "'");
            }

        }

Currently I am passing that value as a parameter to the page , can any body tell how can I store that value in a variable or , atleast on click I assign it to a hidden field. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try this link. It runs through everything you will need, and on the gridview selectedindexchanged event you can reference the value with GridView.SelectedRow.Cells[0].Text or the control containing the value Gridview.SelectedRow.FindControl("[Control Name]")

thanks a lot , could you tell me what does javascript:_doPostBack do , any idea?

@freebird Well, without going too far into it, it causes the client to request a new page from the server. Further Reading

it helped but the selectedindexchanged event is not firing for me.

@freebird did you want to post the code or work through yourself?

In row data bound simply save that value and use it

int appno =  CInt(e.Row.Cells[0].Text)

and if you want to use this value to next page

int appno = CInt(Request.Querystring("ApplicationNo"))
