Hi,
I'm having a strange problem with the update function of a datagrid:
I have a datagrid, the first column lists item names from a database.
Second column is an EditCommandColu mn, and then I have a couple of
button columns after that to deal with row deletes etc.
The problem is occuring in the method that I have specified should
deal with the update event:
protected void nameEditUpdate( object sender, DataGridCommand EventArgs
e)
Because the first column I know contains the item that is getting
updated, I try:
tmpTextBox = (TextBox)e.Item .Cells[0].Controls[0];
To get the control, before looking at its Text property. However,
when I try this I get:
System.InvalidC astException: Specified cast is not valid.
So to try and figure out what is going on, I have tried looking at the
type being returned by e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0], which turns out to
be type System.Web.UI.L iteralControl, the name and text properties of
it are blank. This has just confused me even more.
Anyone have any idea just what might be going on?
Appreciated! 2 1085
Use FindControl instead of hard coding the position in the Controls collection.
Otherwise iterate over the Controls collection until you find your TextBox
(I bet it's at position Controls[1]). What's happening is that there's whitespace
in your template after the <ItemTemplate > and before your <asp:TextBox> and
that's the LiteralControl you're seeing.

Thanks Brock. I would never have guessed that whitespace would be a
member of the controls collection!

I have a DataGrid web control which I've dynamically populated with
template columns to be used for bulk-editting. Generally, all of the
columns are textbox and/or dropdownlist child controls.
Currently everything is working. I can find the updated rows/columns
by parsing the posted data collection against the DataGrid DataSource.
However, when there is a large amount of DataGridItems (rows) the
update processing can take a while.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
