What you meant my next page of ??? you want to get all the selected gridview rows ( ID) as string?

i want to get that ID value to a string variable in a button click present inside the gridview itself

it is a forum, if the user clicks on button present in the side of every particular question that he asked previously he can view the answers & comments given by other users

so for every question posted there is a unique id will be generated behind and will be posted in gridview..see the image attached

if the View Button is clicked the corresponding question's answers and comments should be shown on another gridview in another page with question on the top and replies on the below as like the picture..so for tracking the question ID i need to get the value in string in the VIEW BUTTON click event

i think you understand my question better now

Hi

This is very simple...

in aspx page: suppose you have the Shuttle_Facility_Id is in datakey name....

<pre>
                <asp:GridView ID="gridShuttleAdmin" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" DataKeyNames="Shuttle_Facility_Id"
                   OnRowDataBound="gridShuttleAdmin_RowDataBound"


</pre>

in code behind : in rowdatabound...you fetch it like this.

C#

protected void gridShuttleAdmin_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
Label lblshuttlefacilityid = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("lblshuttlefacilityid");
LinkButton lbtn = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("lnkviewID");
//then use that to navigate to next page as below
lbtn.Attributes.Add("onClick", "var sFeatures='dialogHeight: 700px;dialogWidth: 1000px;'; window.showModalDialog('Shuttle_StopDetails.aspx?shuttlefacilityid=" + lblshuttlefacilityid.Text"','',sFeatures);window.document.forms[0].submit();");


 

}
