During which event can data in a TemplateColumn be changed?

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way to check and edit cell values in TemplateColumns in a
datagrid, after data has been bound. With a regular BoundColumn, I can use
the ItemDataBound event to check and edit cell values, but I cannot get it
to work with TemplateColumns. I am successful changing values in the
ItemDataBound event even for TemplateColumns, but if I try to retrieve the
cell value to determine if I need to edit it in some how, using e.g. "If
e.Item.Cells(3).Text = ...", I only get an empty string returned.

My question therefore is either what I'm doing wrong, or if this is the way
it's supposed to be? And is there another event that I can use to access the
values of TemplateColumn cells to validate and change data?

Thank you in advance!
