Ummm.... Did you notice point number 2 in my previous post? What is it that's not clear about it? Regards:rose:

DataGridView1.RowHeadersVisible = false; thanks

I think that you are not using ASP 2.0 at all, but ASP.NET 2.0. I Also think that you mean a Javascript array, not a Java array. ;) Use the Page.ClientScript.RegisterArrayDeclaration method to register an array in the client script. The method doesn't populate any dropdown for you, though. You still have to write the client script that uses the array to populate it. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but deploying your Crystal Reports Viewer in a Web environment requires you to have licenses... I never understood how exactly the license thing worked (in web environment or windows forms environment, ...), but you can read about it on the internet. hope this helps... Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't. :beer: :jig:

Hi there, Are you sure that you get the right GridViewRow instance as you want? I would double check the index value and see what is in the GridViewRow object.

:cool: Actually a cup of tea sounds great right about now.

OK, you can use the html format, more exactly the table html element, to save the rows. You can export the entire datagrid to an excel file, clikety[^], or you can take some data and save it in the html format using the table tag with the .xls extension.

Happy coding :rose:

many thanks for the response, It was my code was fooling me into thinking it had found records but in fact none were there, I used the DataTable.Select method instead.

As asp.net is not an intelligent being, it can hardly go crazy. I don't believe that saving some text can cause any sort of explosion either. So what do you mean? If you get an error message, it would be helpful if you shared it. Otherwise I can just keep guessing what's happening. robmays wrote: test\"" You have to use the pre tag for the code to show up in the post. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

sorry tried his link but the values were still showing empty strings instead of the data it the e.item.fincontrol that is fluffing is there other ways to get the value selected from a data list.

all these methods fail still stuck TextBox txt = ((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtLastname2")).Text; string fart = Parent.FindControl("txtLeadID2").ID; if (((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtLeadID2")).Text.Length > 0) { leadID = Convert.ToInt32(((TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtLeadID2")).Text); }

found it myself dam document outline window
