Hi,
I am trying to implement a simple template control (to be used as
TemplateItem etc. in GridView). Does someone see why my code fails? I
give up for now and try a different approach (http://

TIA for any ideas.

Because class name is HeaderTextSort, i think your idea uses this
template in GridView's HeaderTemplate. Your code should be like this :
gridView.HeaderTemplate = new HeaderTextSort()
So what's your code in code behind of webpage ?

Thank you, Duy. Yes, you are right, I was trying to create a
HeaderTemplate. This is how I loaded it:
Type t = Type.GetType("Templates.HeaderTextSort");
object o = Activator.CreateInstance(t);
myGridView.HeaderTemplate = (ITemplate)o;
When I use the Template as myGridView.ItemTemplate instead, then the
code works (DataItemIndex != -1 and DataItem != null). So I now know
what my mistake was: the HeaderTemplate is not databound or at least
not in the way the ItemTemplate is. I amtherefore looking for a way to
at least find out which Column Number I am in while processing the
HeaderItem.
Anyway, I am still working ont this approach:
www.developerfusion.co.uk/show/4721
which looks good. It needs some modifications for GridViews:
public TemplateField LoadGridViewTemplateField(string path)
{
Control c = Page.LoadControl(path);
GridView g = c.Controls[0] as GridView;
if (g == null)
throw new Exception("Required GridView control not
found as the first child of specified template");
TemplateField f = g.Columns[0] as TemplateField;
if (f == null)
throw new Exception("Required TemplateField not found
as the first child of the specified GridView");
return f;
}
And the ascx looks like this:
<%@ Control %>
<asp:GridView ID="GridView" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text=<%#
Bind("DataField") %/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
This opens up quiet some possibilities: specifying all or some
templates in one ascx, loading some or all templates from one ascx
file. Exactly what I was looking for.
I am still looking for a way to make headers with properties that
depend on the column number though.
