Accessing Link Button Text Present in Grid view column

Question

I have a Telerik GridView which contains several columns of which a few columns are link-buttons. I want to access the text of that link button upon clicking on it in code behind. I want to access only the particular column text which is clicked in code behind. My code is follows

<telerik:gridtemplatecolumn 
        datafield="EmployeeHRId" 
        filtercontrolalttext="Filter EmployeeHRId column"
        headertext="Employee HR ID" 
        sortexpression="EmployeeHRId" 
        uniquename="EmployeeHRId">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LBEmpHRId" runat="server"  
                EmpHRId='<%#Eval("EmployeeHRId") %>' 
                CssClass="EmpHrIdCss">
            <%#Eval("EmployeeHRId")%>
        </asp:LinkButton>
    </ItemTemplate>
</telerik:gridtemplatecolumn>

Please help me with this

Haven't used TelerikGrid but the basic step is you will have to Find the control in the RowCommand event or similar that TelerikGrid exposed.

LinkButton lb = e.Item.FindControl("LBEmpHRId") as LinkButton;
string id = lb.Text;

//Alternately you can pass HRId as a CommandArgument of your LinkButton as well.

I found this sample which says TelerikGrid has ItemCommand that you will have to handle.
