Easier way to access a Datagrid Dataitem?

Hi,

I'm using a datagrid, and the sub ItemDataBound to customize output of my
datagrid when it is bound. Is the only way I can access the data in my
datasource is to use

DataBinder.Eval (e.Item.DataIte m, "myFieldNam e")

It just seems to be a little clunky to have to use this for every varible in
my datasource, even more when using "option strict" you have to cast the
result, making for an even longer statement. This isn't that much of a
problem, i'm just wondering if i'm missing something that would be much
easier.

Thanks,
--Michael

After the datagrid is bound you can loop through and format the items

e.g datagrid.items( 0).cells(0).tex t

Hope this helps

I have a datalist displaying parent information and a datagrid presenting child information. The data is being rendered just fine. The datagrid has template columns on it that I cannot gain access to in my Itemcommand event of the datalist. When I press a button on the datalist, that brings me into the Itemcommand event. I have access to the datagrid control, but not any column controls on the datagrid. For instance, my first column is...

Is there a way to carry data that I have already read from the datagrid from page to page? I am looking at my Datagrid that I page through and when the user says get the next page, I have to go to the database to get the next page. Is there a way to use the dataset to allow us to read back and forth in it instead of going back to the database to get it? Thanks,

First note that I am using Framework 1.1. I have an .aspx page that is displaying a list of employees, but only the Employee Number, First Name, Last Name, and Title. It is working great.

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,...
