DataGrid, ItemTemplate, ItemDataBound 1

[tgreer]

I have a typical DataGrid with a TemplateColumn. The template column contains lots of "stuff": images, linkbuttons, labels, etc.

A DataSet is bound to the DataGrid.

I'm using the <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container,&quot;sqlField&quot%> syntax to bind values here and there.

In my ItemDataBound event handler, I'm looking at values in the DataSet.

I want to change the value of a label within the DataGrid TemplateColumn based on a value in the DataSet.

The event is firing right, I've got down to an IF statement for the DataSet value, all I need to do is add code to say &quot;now change such and such&quot;. I don't know how to refer to controls in the column/cell/whatever.

I hope that was clear, if not I can post code on Monday.

in the ItemDataBound event....

For a textbox...
((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl(&quot;whatever&quot).Text=&quot;your value&quot;;

works the same way for other controls....just cast to the proper control and you can set it's properties as you normally would. Hope this helps

The &quot;whatever&quot; in your code snippet is what, the control name? ID? How can that be determined, since these controls are named dynamically as the datagrid is filled?

This works, thanks, once I was able to try it out. &quot;whatever&quot; is the ID. Thanks again!
