e.Item.Cells[0].Text Statement problem

ACE2084 · January 25th, 2005, 02:48 PM

hi there!!! i have a datagrid server control. and i want to display the text in the first cell on a message. a few days ago i did
(string lbName = e.Item.Cells[0].Text )
with no problems, but now when i run the project, lbName remains blank (i mean ""). i'm confused about this 'cause i don't see any ostensible reason for this to happen. any idea of what's running bad? thanks again...

Have you tried debugging it and setting a break point at that line to see what value it is being set to?

What event are you placing your code in that grabs the value of the cell?

ACE2084 · January 26th, 2005, 04:39 PM

the code is placed inside the update and delete event handlers for the proper dbgrid .

where is the label located...inside or outside of the grid?

the label is located outside of the grid.

Are you trying to place this value in a string or inside a label? Can you post a little more code so we can see what you are doing?

Yes, more code would be helpful.

ok, here goes the entire function:

private void dgUsers_DeleteCommand(object source, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs e)
        {
            sqlConn.Open();
            string delname = e.Item.Cells[0].Text;
            SqlParameter myParm = sqlComDel.Parameters.Add("@id_Admin",SqlDbType.Int ,4);
            myParm.Value = dgUsers.DataKeys[(int)e.Item.ItemIndex];
            sqlComDel.ExecuteNonQuery();
            sqlDAUser.Fill(dsUsers);
            dgUsers.DataBind();
            sqlConn.Close();
            labMessage.Text = delname.ToUpper() + "has been deleted succesfully!!!";
        }
