Yep, the article was pretty cool. As you said, I removed the hidden field, and placed the value i need in a cell. The code goes as below <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"TaskId")%> Now by iterating I am trying to grab the cells value... foreach (DataGridItem dgItem in dgTimesheet.Items) { TaskId=dgItem.Cells[8].Text; } But still it doesnt show anything in the dgItem.cells[8].text, i checked the cell no. , have kept it visible. It shows in the grid. Can u let me know where I am going wrong? Thanks -- modified at 15:50 Thursday 15th September, 2005

Yep, that wud work in ItemDatabound event where e is DataGridItemeventArgs I want to iterate through the Datagrid and save each value in the textbox. my code is as follows: dgTimesheet is the datagrid, this is the code behind public void Save() { foreach (DataGridItem dgItem in dgTimesheet.Items) { t.TaskId=((HtmlInputHidden)dgItem.FindControl("txtTask")).Value; saveTask...(some procedure)... } } Here is the aspx code " runat=server> So I need to retrieve txtTask value for each row... Thanks

Thanks a lot, I put " runat=server> in aspx file, and to access it programatically, i used t.TaskId=((HtmlInputHidden)dgItem.FindControl("txtTask")).Value; But its throwing the error Object reference not set, its not able to search for the control. Where am I going wrong? Thanks

Hi, I have a datagrid and a textbox(hidden) as an ItemTemplate. There are number of other textboxes which are visible whose values are to be saved by iterating through the grid. Now I also want to store the value of the hidden textbox but when I hide it, it gives the value as "" i.e. empty string. But if I make it visible, it wl show the value and even save it. EnableViewState=True Runat="server"> EnableViewState=True Runat="server"> This is how I am fetching its value in the code-behind. t.TaskId=((TextBox)dgItem.FindControl("txtTaskId")).Text; But t.TaskId contains "" (empty string) if the textbox is hidden, else it shows a value. What can be done abt it? Thanks.

yep, my mistake i pasted the changes in a different class. I modified my message, can u pls have a look at it? Thanks

Sorry, I got what you say... but still confused :(. I am pasting my piece of code.. My comments start with ??? Have put my doubts... This is the user control... public abstract class TimeSheetTabs : System.Web.UI.UserControl { protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataList lstTabs; ??? This is where I had placed the public variables before.... // public string CurrentTabName; // public string CallersTabName; public string _CurrentTabName=String.Empty; public string _CallersTabName=String.Empty; ???These are the changes that I made by declaring the properties.......... public string CurrentTabName { get{return _CurrentTabName;} set{_CurrentTabName=value;} } public string CallersTabName { get{return _CallersTabName;} set{_CallersTabName=value;} } public class TimeSheetTab { public string Name=String.Empty; public string Url = String.Empty; public string _CurrentTabName=String.Empty; public string _CallersTabName=String.Empty; public TimeSheetTab(string xName, string xUrl) { Name=xName; Url=xUrl; } } private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Put user code to initialize the page here ArrayList colTabs= new ArrayList(); if (CallersTabName=="TimeSheet") { colTabs.Add(new TimeSheetTab("My Time-Sheet","~/Projects/AddTimeSheet.aspx")); colTabs.Add(new TimeSheetTab("Reportees Time-Sheet","~/Projects/ReporteesTimeSheet.aspx")); } else if (CallersTabName=="Reports") { colTabs.Add(new TimeSheetTab("Tasks","~/Report.aspx?ReportName=Tasks")); colTabs.Add(new TimeSheetTab("Defects","~/Report.aspx?ReportName=Defects")); } lstTabs.DataSource=colTabs; lstTabs.DataBind(); } void lstTabs_ItemDataBound(Object s, DataListItemEventArgs e) { TimeSheetTab objTab= (TimeSheetTab)e.Item.DataItem; HyperLink lnkTab = (HyperLink)e.Item.FindControl("lnkTab"); lnkTab.Text=objTab.Name; lnkTab.NavigateUrl=objTab.Url; if (String.Compare(CurrentTabName,objTab.Name)==0) e.Item.CssClass="adminTabActive"; else e.Item.CssClass="adminTabInactive"; } Can u pls tell me how to access it in the Parent page at cs/vb side? Or send a sample code, that would be quite helpful.:((. I am not getting the property in the intellisense. ... My aspx side goes as ...

I am not getting Report1 in the intellisense in code behind, neither it is accessible. So I added protected UserControl Report1; but it doesnot show "CurrentTabName" as property. How to access Report1 in code behind? Thanks

Hi, I am new to UserControls in asp.net. I guess, this is a very basic thing that i am implementing, but still not able to find it. I have a user control named Timesheettabs.ascx It has public string CurrentTabName; Now I am including this usercontrol in my aspx page. Say <%@ Register TagPrefix="pm" TagName="Report" Src="~/UserControls/TimeSheetTabs.ascx" %> And this is how I am invoking it in .aspx page. Now I want to initialize the CurrentTabName variable at runtime through codebehind, and the rest of the code is in usercontrol itself. So I just wanted to know how should I pass the value of CurrentTabName through code behind? Thanks

How to do that? Also let me know ... If I have specified a setting in web.config for culture, Is it possible to specify another date format in a particular control. I tried doing this but it throws an error. Like I have specified "dd/MM/yyyy" in web.config. I want a particular dateformat in a variable to be in MM/dd/yyyy format, so i just used .ToString("MM/dd/yyyy",new CultureInfo("en-GB")) but it gave an error... Just wanted to know this... Thanks...

Thanks a lot. It worked out... I found another option too To put culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB" in Web.config, Globalization section. Thanks

Hi,, I am using Compare validators to compare two dates. One of them is as below. Now I need to enter dates in dd/MM/yyyy format. But the Compare validator takes the default date format as MM/dd/yyyy. So if I have two dates as 5/7/2005 2/8/2005 the above date proves to be greater than the below date, as it compares mm/dd/yyyy format, and my validation gets wrong. Can anyone tell me how to change the Datechecking format of the validator? Or any other options... Thanks
