Using ASP.Net 2.0 and VS 2005.
I have a search page that has server controls, (textboxes, dropdownlists,
etc.) that are used for searching and returning data in a GridView. One of
the GridView columns is a bound HyperLink that sends me to a new aspx page.
However, when I try to use Request.Form to get contents of the controls in
the search page all requests are blank. Is this because the hyperlink does
not do a Redirect? and thus the Request.Form is not available? If so, is
there an alternative way to accomplish this? I really like using the
hyperlink. Thanks.

Mark,
I read this but it references a LinkButton which I am not using. I am using
a HyperlInk control bound to a datafield in a gridView. There are no
CommandName and CommandArgument options in the properties of this control.
Am i missing something? Thanks.

I am trying that but the SelectedIndexChanged does not seem to fire. I
created a sub that would set the value from the row.cells(1) and nothing
happens, the screen just blinks. Doesn't clicking on this LinkButton select
the current row?

That's right.

No. You need to specifiy the value as the LinkButton's CommandArgument.
 
OK, I got it to work. I bound the CommandName and CommandArgument to the 2
column values I needed to pass and it worked. Thank you.
