I have a Grid view which populates through my SQL data reader
Grid View:
<asp:GridView ID="gridviewALL" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="Search_ItemDataBound">
</asp:GridView>
SQL Data Reader:
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT en.dpCreatedDT AS 'Time Received', en.enStatusCH AS 'Status', en.enNotificationNoNI AS 'LSBUD Ref', cm.cmpersonfirstch AS 'First Name', cm.cmPersonLastCH AS 'Last Name', cm.cmcompanynamech AS 'Company' FROM dp_enquiry en JOIN dp_caller_master cm ON (en.encmcallerkeyfk = cm.cmCallerKeyNI) WHERE en.ennotificationnoni = @JobnoALL", conn);
try
{
SqlParameter search = new SqlParameter();
search.ParameterName = "@JobnoALL";
search.Value = JobnoALL.Text.Trim();
cmd.Parameters.Add(search);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Load(dr);
gridviewALL.DataSource = dt;
gridviewALL.DataBind();
}
I'm trying to change the format of a cell in the grid view when the text equals a value, I've done this using a listview before but the Gridview steps seems different. I have the following which doesn't seem to be working any suggestions?
private void Search_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
string CurrentColumn = e.Item.Cells[1].Text;
if (CurrentColumn == "PROC")
{
e.Item.Cells[1].Text = "Creating PDF";
}
else if (CurrentColumn == "CLOS")
{
e.Item.Cells[1].Text = "Complete";
e.Item.Cells[1].ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;
}
}
It must be reading the header, you need to check if its a DataRow
:-
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
string CurrentColumn = e.Item.Cells[1].Text;
//your code goes here..
}
Also, I would suggest you to use DataBinder.Eval method instead to avoid hard-coding of cell index as it may result in error if order of columns change.
string CurrentColumn = DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "yourColumnName").ToString();
Update:
Just noticied you are using ItemDataBound
which is an event for DataGrid
and not Gridview
. Use RowDataBound
event instead:-
<asp:GridView ID="gridviewALL" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="gridviewALL_RowDataBound">
</asp:GridView>
Your rowDataBound event should look like this:-
protected void gridviewALL_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
//your code here
}
