TemplateField in Child Gridview

[rsshetty]

I have a gridview inside a datalist. In this gridview I have a templatefield.

<asp:DataList ID="dlParent" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="dlParent_ItemDataBound">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:GridView ID="gvStudentList" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false"  
                        OnRowDataBound="gvStudentList_RowDataBound" OnRowCreated="gvStudentList_RowCreated"
                        BorderStyle="solid" BorderWidth="1" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="smaller">
                        <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" Font-Size="X-Small" ForeColor="Black" Height="20px" HorizontalAlign="Center"/>
                        <RowStyle BackColor="#ffffff" HorizontalAlign="Center" BorderStyle="outset" BorderWidth="2"/>
                        <FooterStyle BackColor="#ffffff" />
                        <Columns> 
                        
                        
                        
                        
                        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="LNF" visible="false" ItemStyle-Width="15%">
                            <ItemTemplate>
                                <asp:Label ID="lblLNF" runat="server" visible="false"></asp:Label>

....

In the RowDataBound event of the child gridview, I am unable to set the templatefield visibility to true.

Does anyone know how to do this?

It's always in the details.

How are you trying to do it now? I suggest using FindControl to get the object then set the visible property.

When I try e.Row.FinControl("gvStudentList"), I get a message saying that gvStudentList is not available int he current context. The error message is valid as I am looking for a GridViw in the row of the GridView. What I actually need is the ability to access the templatefield itself.

Ideas?

Actually, never mind. I got it to work.

((GridView)sender).Columns[0].Visible = true;


That did the trick.
