This message is really for Peter, it is something he helped me with before.

Peter, if you remember, I asked you about template columns in data grids (you can see the previous thread we had). I have a RadioButtonList in a template column in a datagrid. What I wanted to do is trigger an event on the index change of the radiobutton list and get the value. I had it worked out, and lost the code unfortunately, and now I am having problems again. This is what I have so far:



    Public Sub RBLSelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Label1.Text = "Whoo Hooo"
    End Sub

    Public Sub CreateEvents(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        Dim objRadioList As RadioButtonList = CType(sender, RadioButtonList)
        Dim objDataGridItem As DataGridItem = CType(objradiolist.Parent.Parent,DataGridItem)

        objRadioList = CType(dg1.FindControl("rblTest"), RadioButtonList)
        If Not objRadioList Is Nothing Then
            AddHandler objRadioList.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf RBLSelectionChanged
        End If


        'Gets the datagrid row index of this item:
        ' objDataGridItem.ItemIndex()

        'Gets you the value from the first column:
        Label1.Text = objDataGridItem.Cells(0).Text()


the problem is that I am getting an INVALID CAST on the radiobuttonlist declaration"
Dim objRadioList As RadioButtonList = CType(sender, RadioButtonList)

Any idea why, what did I do wrong or miss??

Thanks again for all of your help,

Jim

I have changed my code to this:

        Dim objradiolist As New RadioButtonList()
        objradiolist = CType(dg1.FindControl("rblTest"), RadioButtonList)

        If Not objradiolist Is Nothing Then
            Dim objDataGridItem As DataGridItem = CType(objradiolist.Parent.Parent, DataGridItem)
            AddHandler objradiolist.SelectedIndexChanged, AddressOf RBLSelectionChanged
        End If

The problem now is that the FindControl method always returns NOTHING.

What is calling the CreateEvents() method?

One thing you might try is putting "RBLSelectionChanged" directly in the radio button list control in the markup. Try working around having to manually add the handler for the radio button list and see if that helps at all.

(Sorry for the slow response... I have been very busy lately.)

nOT A PROBLEM.... I will try your idea and see what happens.....
