hi guys,

i have colmn 1 ,2,5,6
how do i trigger events that when i enter certain string in column1 it will display column 3 and 4, but for another string that i've enter in column 1 it will hide column 3 ,4
in datagrid
tnx in advanced

Hi,

After you enter the string which should show columns 3 and 4 , the datagrid should be rebound with the new values. Whenever the datagrid is rebound, the itemdatabound event is fired. In this event, the value id column 1 can be checked and depending on its value the columns 3 and 4 can be shown or hidden .

the sample code is as follows

Private Sub Datagrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgrPrograms.ItemDataBound

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then

if e.item.Cells(1).text = "String1" then

e.item.Cells(3).visible = true
e.item.Cells(4).visible = true

elseif e.item.Cells(1).text = "String2" then

e.item.Cells(3).visible = false
e.item.Cells(4).visible = false

End if

End if

End Sub
