Bob, I am not sure if this is what I need. And I think I mis-typed my initial query. What I need to know is any of the other column's values.
For example, my table is: Column-A Column-B Column-C ActionLink ABC Info1 Info2 View Detail Link DEF Info11 Info22 View Detail Link GHI Info122 Info222 View Detail Link When I click the ActionLink, and my onLinkClick method is trying to build a child table, I need to know the value in the table under Column-A for the row that was clicked. In my example above, I click the bottom table row's "View Data Link", and in my onLinkClick method I need the value of "GHI". It''ll be dynamic per the row clicked, not set statically. If that makes any sense.
