I would like to read the text from my dataGrid cell.

Private Sub dgdPie_ItemCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs ) Handles dgdPie.ItemCommand

If e.CommandName = "PieName" Then 'user clicks on link button
cellText=e.Item.Cells(4).text
end if

end sub



CellText is always '', no matter which cell I read.

I don't know why? I have text in all cells.

Regards,S

Hi,

Is that a template column, or a databound column you're trying to access?

The column is:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Description">
<ItemTemplate>
<%# Container.DataItem( "pie_description" ) %>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
