What does sender.Parent.P arent.Cells() reference? Frustrating...

[Roy]

Ok, this is incredibly annoying. Below I have an ImageButton and it's
ImageButton_Cli ck sub. See the 6 response.writes ? The output for them
is displayed below in asterisks. Question: What part of the
TemplateColumn below does sender.parent.p arent.Cells(9) reference???
IOW, what tag does it reference? The templatecolumn is the 9th field in
the datagrid yet no matter what I do, whatever
"sender.parent. parent.Cells(9) " is referencing, I do not have access
to. Help!

It references the TableCell that will contain the controls for the
template.

Are you trying to locate a specific, named control like the nested
grid? If so, I believe FindControl a bit less painful.

Sorta... I'm trying to make the 9th column visible/invisible when
someone clicks the imagebutton. I've been trying to get FindControl to
work for a day (see link). It doesn't. I give up. I'm quitting
programming and becoming a sheepherder.
