Datagrid - how to avoid adding an item
-
Hi, I'm populating a datagrid in ASP.NET 1.1 and after binding it to a collection, the ItemDataBound event allows me to access the data after it's entered as a row into the grid. I can add tooltips to the individual cells depending on the cell value and so on, which is very useful. However, I also have need to exclude some of my items from ever being displayed in the grid and so I'd like to handle an event which occurs before each row in the datagrid is populated. In this way I can filter the contents of my datagrid rather than apply any filtering to the collection class which for one reason or another, I don't wish to do. Is there any way of capturing the item *before* it's added to the grid to stop it ever being displayed? In other words, can I filter a grid at this level?

Hi there, In this case, you can think of hiding the datagrid row (DataGridItem) using the Visible property, so depending on the databound bound to the row you can set either the specific cells of the row or the entire row invisible, and the user does not see that displayed on the grid.
