how to access control in template datagrid

[Paul]

Hi I need to change the text value of a dropdown list box that is in a
template column of a data grid but was not sure how to access it, probably
something like
datagrid1.control.dropdownlist.text = "" but not sure.

Hi Shailesh, thanks for the response. I set up the following in the
ItemDataBound event and set a breakpoint but has nothing in s_temp.
here is the control id <asp:dropdownlist id=dr_lst_dest
in the ItemDataBound event for the grid I have
Dim s_temp As Object
s_temp = e.Item.FindControl("dr_lst_dest")'breakpt here
End Sub
Also I need to read the selected value when someone makes a selection
probably in the
DataGrid1_SelectedIndexChanged event, was not sure if you have done that
before.

and in the event find the control using e.Item.FindControl(controlID)
and then when u get the control change the text of the control..

Just a bit more information. looks like the ItemDataBound event fires 3
times, and after the second time looks like it does find the contol. I have
several column with the datagrid binded to a data set and then 3 columns with
dropdown list boxes with each data binding to a dataset.

Hi Paul
The itemdatabound event will fire for each row..including header and footer
So you will have to check e.Item.ItemSyle and find that control when the
itemstyle is item or alternatingitem..
check this example

Hope this helps
