OK. Now I got around to getting values out of the datagrid in the
OnUpdateCommand rutine:
Datagrid:
<asp:BoundColumn Visible="False" DataField="EmployeeID"
HeaderText="EmployeeID" />
<asp: TemplateColumn
SortExpression="Employee"
HeaderText="Employee">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label
ID="lblEmployee"
runat="server"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Employee") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox
runat="server"
id="txtEmployee"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Employee") %>' />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn
SortExpression="EmployeeGroup"
HeaderText="EmployeeGroup">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server"
Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, _
"DataItem.EmployeeGroup") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList Runat="server" ID="cboEmployeeGroup"
DataSource="<%# GetEmployeeGroup() %>"
DataTextField="EmployeeGroup"
DataValueField="EmployeeGroup" />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
I get the values using:
Dim iEmployeeID As String = _
CType(e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0), TextBox).Text
Dim sEmployee As String = _
CType(e.Item.FindControl("txtEmployee"), TextBox).Text
Dim sEmployeeGroup As String = _
CType(e.Item.FindControl("cboEmployeeGroup"), _
DropDownList).SelectedValue
New problem: I get the original values from the TextBox or
DropDownList controls and not the new values entered in the TextBox or
selected in the DropDownList (displayed inthe EditItemTemplate part in
edit mode...!!!)
I'm really confused.
It still seems to be the referencing of the template column that I
can't get right.
I've tried:
For Each dgi As DataGridItem In dg.Items
If dgi.ItemType = ListItemType.EditItem Then
....
but it doesn't work
