altering a gridview

[Sheena777]

I am trying to alter the gridview so that it will only display the edit command of the grid if the one value in the grid is equal true. How would I do this dynamically when the grid loads up on an asp.net page. I know how to set the values in design time but how do you do it at run time. Any help would be appreciated Thanks.

Do you mean check if there are any rows first? So that if you are using executereader, then if rdrLoveSongs.hasrows = true then...

What do you mean by true - is valid or exists? What event are you planning to use?

When I load the grid with Data I want to be able the check what the value is for a specific cell and then show the edit command for that row. I know how to check the row because I have been able to do that and then change the colour of the text of that row and display it in the grid but how would I get the grid to display the edit command in the grid? So this is my question how do I set the edit command dynamically for each row in the grid so that when I do make the edit command visible that it will only apply to a specifc row is this possible?
