Body
Suppose I have a gridview containing some bound fields and a template field. The template field contains a button (btnUpload). btnUpload triggers a modalpopupextender to display a panel which contains some controls and a submit button. What I need to be able to do is to get the value from cell 0 of the row btnUpload was clicked on and pass it to the panel so I can retrieve some data into the panel's controls in the panel_load event based on that value from cell 0 of the gridview. I thought I could do this by storing the value from cell 0 in a session variable but not sure if this is the 'best' way of doing this? UPDATE - Using hidden fields on the panel to store row index as suggested by Karl I have added two hidden fields to the panel and I populate them as below: <pre><code>If e.CommandName = "Upload" Then Dim row As GridViewRow = CType(CType(e.CommandSource, Control).NamingContainer, GridViewRow) Dim ref As String = CType(row.Cells(0), DataControlFieldCell).Text Dim dt As String = CType(row.Cells(2), DataControlFieldCell).Text hfRef.Value = ref hfDate.Value = dt End If </code></pre> This is working and populating the hidden fields OK. However in the btnSubmit_Click event procedure on the panel I am doing the following the variables I am assigning are not getting a value from the hidden fields: <pre><code>If fuCertificate.HasFile Then Dim fileName As String = Path.GetFileName(fuCertificate.PostedFile.FileName) fuCertificate.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("~/CalibrationCerts/" & fileName)) Dim ref As String = hfRef.Value Dim dt As String = hfDate.Value Dim dc As New ExternalCalibrationDataContext Dim thisRecord = (From x In dc.ext_calibration_records Where x.calibration_no = ref AndAlso x.calibration_date = dt).ToList()(0) thisRecord.certificate_no = txtCertNumber.Text thisRecord.certificate = "~/CalibrationCerts/" & fileName Else lblError.Text = "Please select a file to upload" End If </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
