Grid view template control

[sidbaruah]

I am using a grid view to display contents from a dataset. I am using template controls for the columns (using databinder.eval),but when i try to access the contents of the template control,its giving gridview_name.Rows[0].Cells[0].findcontrol("Label1").text it is giving me blank. Could anyone suggest a solution to this issue? Thanks.... Sid

Often the controls are not in the cells you expect. So you may need to try some different cell numbers before you find them. Try Cells[1]...Cells[2] etc Hope that helps. Ben

Hi, Instead of finding control in the cell you can find the conrol in the row of the grid. You can do like following. Label lbl = (Label)gv.Rows[0].FindControl("lableid"); I hope this will help you.

Hi i actually happpen to find the control but the text is saying blank.. I have used databind to do the binding instead of template controls and it is working now..but just thought that it might work out....
