Empty gridview cells and checking for empty string

In a RowDataBound event, I want to check if a column is empty (it's a simple
column, not a template with a label in it). I use the following syntax to get
the value from the cell:

s = e.row.cells(1). text

but s returns " " so I can't use String.IsNullOr Empty(s) function, because
it's not empty.

What can I do?

TIA

The post displayed the value returned from the cell as " ", while it is
actually & n b s p; when I see it when debugging.

I have a gridview control. In this grid view there is a column for the price of an item. Some of the prices have a dollar sign in front of it and some dont. How do I get rid of the dollar sign if it is in front of the value? My guess would be to use a template column but I dont know how to go about this. Any ideas? Below is an example of what the data looks like raw from the database: $456.95 200.89

Hi All, I am using Link Button for DELETE on the gridview. When I click on DELETE link, I get the ArgumentOutOfRangeException. But...it deletes the record from table in the database. On Gridview_rowdatabound, I am dynamically building hyperlink control based on the values in the other fields. Here is my code for Gridview_rowdatabound. It does work sometimes though.

I just started a few days ago, so I'm very new to this. I'm trying to update a gridview using a store procedure. When I am in the update subroutine, newvalues and oldvalues are empty, plus count is zero. Here is the code I have. What I really want to do is get the changed value for startdate and endate just before doing an update. Thanks <%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false"...

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,...
