FindControl in Invisible column

Hi,

I have a datagrid with 3 columns. I use buttons to set the
visible property of each column to true or false depending
on which column I need to see, creating a TabControl
effect. The only problem is when I come to save the data,
the FindControl method won't pick up any controls in
columns where the visible property is set to false, which
means I can only save data in the 1 column I can see. Does
anybody know of a way around this?

Thanks

John

When the user hides a column, save the data to viewstate
at that point? And then when they really want to save it
to DB, then save the viewstate data?

I have a table server control (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table) on my form that has three columns. Sometimes I need the second column to be invisible, sometimes the third. How can I set a column to be invisible in code? There appears to not be a programmatic way to work with columns in the way that there is rows. Thanks. --Susan

This is just a rephrased version of a question I posted earlier. I think I'm closer now, so it seemed worthy of a new (more specific) post. In my repeater I'm dynamically creating text boxes, so at compile time I don't know what text boxes are going to be present at run time. This is where it seems the FindControl method would be come into play. I loop through a list of control (all textboxes) names I created on page load and see if they...

I've got a datagrid set up to display data. I've also got an Edit,Update,Cancel column set up to allow editing of data. I've got a DropDownList (ID="ddl3")in the EditItemTemplate for a certain column that I need to populate while in Edit Mode. Two questions: Is there a way to directly use another DropDownList as a DataSource? If so how? I'm using the following code to try to populate the DropDownList, but

Hi all, I have a gridview displaying a dataset and some buttons. When a certain cell of this datasetrow is empty, I want a button in that row to be visible, otherwise no button should be shown in that row. I'm trying to make this work all day, but it's not going to work. I tried this in the rowCreated event. I am able to find the right row and cell in this row (as a datarow), but now the right gridview

I have 10 columns total. 3 of them are invisible. The rest are read- only BoundFields, 3 of which are editable fields using TemplateFields. Upon editing, I want to validate what the user enters against one of those invisible columns. How do I accomplish this? The code below that I attempted just returns an empty string when I try to retrieve the invisible column data: gvParts.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(8).Text

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
