Hi All
When I put a button in template column in my datagrid,
I get NOTHING in the command when I what to have access on that button.

Here is my code:

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Move Row">
<ItemTemplate>
    <asp:button Runat=server text ="UP" ID="btnMoveUp" OnClick = "btnMoveUp_click" />
    <asp:button Runat=server text ="Down" ID="btnMoveDown"/>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

Sub btnMoveUp_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMoveUp.Click
    Dim myBtnMoveUp As Button = CType(DataGrid1.FindControl("btnMoveUp"), Button)

     If Not myBtnMoveUp Is Nothing Then
            Dim objDataGridItem As DataGridItem = CType(myBtnMoveUp.Parent.Parent, DataGridItem)
        End If
End Sub

It’s always return NOTHING in btmMoveUp_Click
I am binding the datagrid in page load when it’s not PostBack
I put Protected withevent in top of code behind

Please help

You can't use the "WithEvents" and "Handles" keyword for controls that live inside a repeating control template (such as a datagrid, datalist or repeater) because there will be multiple instances of that control. Instead you need to use the repeating control's ItemCommand event handler and check the event arguments for the 'Command' property. For a button, you set the 'Command' argument to some string value to indicate the desired action ("moveup", "movedown"), then you can check for this value in the ItemCommand event handler.
