Data Grid Issue

astersathya · October 5th, 2010, 06:37 AM

Hi All,

I am facing an issue. I have a datagrid in aspx page. I am binding a dataset data to this datagrid [simple binding]. It works with out any issues. However whenever the data contains any Html tags like 'Test Data With <HTML> tags'
the data in the datagrid cell will show only 'Test Data With <> tags'. The contents inside <> tag will disappear.

My code will look like this.

DataGrid.DataSource = SomeDataSet
DataGrid.DataBind()

I am using C# as the code behind language.

Kindly help with this.

Thanks in advance
Sathya

Looks like your values are getting encoded. Maybe this helps?

Dear Imar,

Really thank you for the quick response you have posted. However the problem with my code is the number of columns of the grid is not fixed. I mean to say the AutoGeneratedColumns Property of the gridview is true as I am not sure how many columns I retrieve from the SQL DB to bind the data to the Grid. The datapopulation is dynamic and depends on the SQL Query.

So in this case, I am not able to use the htmlencode ="false" property for the gridview control.

Any suggestion on this??

Awaiting your response...

Dear Imar,

Thanks for your qucik response and I appreciate it. However my datagrid generates the columns dynamically [ie., AutoGeneratedColumns property is set to true always] as data depends on the query.

I am not able to use the property 'htmlencode=false' in this case.

Kindly help.

Awaiting your response.

Then you may be able to hook into some event such as RowCreated and programmatically set that property or decode the HTML. Google for some ideas.

Otherwise, define your columns explicitly.

Cheers,
