highlight a datagrid template row?

I've searched, reviewed, and attempted dozens of code ideas on the subject. I
can't seem to get something that seems so simple to work. To highlight a row
in a datagrid based on another value in that row.

I have a datagrid using Template and Item Columns, i.e.:

<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="CA Date Req"
HeaderStyle-CssClass="gridq text" ItemStyle-CssClass="gridt ext">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:Label ID="lblcadatere q" CssClass="gridt ext" width="75" Runat="server"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "Concern_DCADat e", "{0:d}") %>'
Visible="True">
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>

I've tried both Oncreate and OnDataBound, no luck. I have several columns,
but I need values from checkbox (#3) and Label (#4). I've tried, etc.:
CType(E.Item.Fi ndControl("lblc adatereq"), Label).Text

What is strange is that when I run (Onitemcreated) :

Response.Write( "value = " & e.Item.Cells(4) .Text & "<br>")

I get, there are four rows in my grid (header, two data, a blank bottom
row). I get:
#1 value = "Title of Header"
#2 - 4 value = (is blank). The grid shows data in #2 and #3???

I have also ran a routine to remove the first and last rows using:
e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.It em Or e.Item.ItemType =
ListItemType.Al ternatingItem
but still no values from grid for rows 2 and 3????

It is not clear from the message what is your immediate problem. You can't
get a value of a bound column? Bound columns get value in ItemDataBound
event. Also you can use PreRender event in which the grid is already fully
populated with all values.

I would say that you were on the right track with the OnItemDataBound Event.
This fires before the binding so basically you can grab values from your
datsource and do some conditional logic. OnItemCreated Event also comes to
mind; but somehow I don't think this would give you a solution for this.
They got to have code sames for this out there.

got it! Was using Itemcreated, switch to ItemDataBound and used:
Dim careq As Boolean = CType(e.Item.Ce lls(3).FindCont rol("ckcareq"),
CheckBox).Check ed
Dim cadate As Date =
CType(e.Item.Ce lls(4).FindCont rol("lblcadater eq"), Label).Text
got the values, thanx.!

Is it possible to use a drop combo instead of a text box when using the EditCommand in the Datagrid? Many table columns are bound to 'lookup' tables, user's don't care about the foreign keys, they want the text value. Any advice, samples or places to read are appreciated. Thanks.

How to highlight a row in a DataGrid that has just been edited? EditItemStyle-BackColor will highlight a row when the DataGrid (& a row) is in the editable mode. I want to highlight the row immediately after the row has been edited (i.e. when the DataGrid reverts back to the uneditable mode) so that users can easily notice which row they have edited just now.
