Doesn't find grid control

kimbred

Can someone help? I have the code below in which I'm attempting to show or hide the edit control in a gridview based on the value of a column in that view. It doesn't seem to find the control. I've included the RowDataBound event as well as the gridview definition. Thanks in advance.

protected void gvEmployeesBenefits_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

    {

        TextBox EditFlg = (TextBox) e.Row.FindControl("txtEditflg");

        if (EditFlg.Text == "1")

        {

            LinkButton MyLinkButton = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("lnkEdit");

            MyLinkButton.Visible = true;

        }

        else

        {

            LinkButton MyLinkButton = (LinkButton)e.Row.FindControl("lnkEdit");

            MyLinkButton.Visible = false;

        }

Not sure if this is it, but you declared your variable of type TextBox when the control you're finding is a Label

That was it. Thanks. Not sure the Row Data Bound event is the correct place to put this though. When I select the edit link on the row, all rows magically get the edit link. Thanks again.

This is probably what you want (in the rowdatabound event)

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

    If e.Row.DataItem("Editflg") = "1" Then

         e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Edit

    Else

         e.Row.RowState = DataControlRowState.Normal

    End If

End If

Using the c# equivalent ofcourse.
