Hi,

I want to display the details of Datagrid Headertext and Datavalue whatever has been bound with Datagrid columns when I click on a button by using for loop in asp.net.I was able to show the headertext but not able to show the Datafield.i have used the following code.

Sub Button7_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
dim i as integer
dim j as integer
j=DataGrid1.Columns.count-1
for i = 1 to j
Response.write(DataGrid1.Columns.item(i).HeaderTex t)
Response.write(DataGrid1.Columns(i).DataField)
Next
End sub
I am getting error on "Response.write(DataGrid1.Columnsi).DataField) "
Please help me.

And that error was?

-Peter

Peter,
I am getting this error

Compilation Error
Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'DataField' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumn'.

Aha, yes indeed that is correct. DataField is not a member of that class. However, it IS a member of derived classes that provide the ability to bind to a column in the underlying data bound to a grid such as the BoundColumn class.

When you iterate thru the columns collection of the datagrid, you get DataGridColumn objects, not their final column class types (BoundColumn, TemplateColumn, etc.). So you'll need to test each DataGridColumn you iterate thru to see if it is of type BoundColumn (or which ever other types support DataField), then you can emit that field's value.
