From VS.NET 03 AND VB.NET
I added a dropdown list to a data grid control in response to the
EditCommand event to force users to pick values from a list and not
type them in. I used the following code:
'Hide the existing txt box
Dim txt As TextBox
txt = CType(e.Item.Ce lls(0).Controls (0), TextBox)
txt.Visible = False
'display a ddl instead
Dim ds As New DataSet
ds = dbCalls.GetData
Dim ddl As New DropDownList
ddl.ID = "myID"
ddl.DataSource = ds
ddl.DataTextFie ld = "myTxt"
ddl.DataValueFi eld = "myID"
ddl.DataBind()
ddl.Attributes. Add("class", "myCSS")
e.Item.Cells(0) .Controls.Add(d dl)
This works great (everything displays as intended in the UI).
However, when I code the UpdateCommand I cannot find the DropDownList
control I created above. When I debug and add a watch for
e.Item.Cells(0) it only shows a single control
(e.Item.Cells(0 ).controls(0) which is the text box). How can I
reference the DropDownList control? I am using the following code:
Dim ddlMaintCatID As DropDownList
ddlMaintCatID = CType(e.Item.Ce lls(0).Controls (X), DropDownList)
For X i tried the following vales (0 and 1). For 0 I get and invalid
cast error becuase controls(0) is a text box and for 1 I get an index
out of range error.
What am I missing???
thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

ddlMaintCatID = CType(e.Item.Ce lls(0).FindCont rol("myID"), DropDownList)
the above will work if you used
ddl.ID = "myID" and "myID" is a string, if it is the unique DB id then you
will have to substitue something to determine the currect ID (use a hidden
column and grab the text property or something)

Hi Potato:
I have some articles with C# source that might help. They talk about
the basics of using FindControl and using DropDownLists in a grid.

Hi,
I want to display a Label in a DataGrid according to some condition. I therefore check whether the condition is true in the ItemDateBound EventHandler of the DataGrid. Unfortunately the conversion is extremely costly in performance. Does anybody know how I could set the label (of the whole content of the TableCell) to .Visible = False without converting e.Item.Controls(2) to a System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label?

Hi, in order to format my web page, I'm starting to use Flow layout so
using html tables to space out controls, etc. When using grid layout,
the following worked when it was just a datagrid. I know I need to
somehow refer to the datagrid within the html table cell, but can't
figure out how.
