Hello:
I am working my way thought chapter 12 and have hit a road block. On page 404 of chapter 12 in the Try It Out - Customizing GridView Columns I am having problems with step 9 and 10.
Step 9 reads: Switch to Markup View and then remove the <EditItemTemplate> for the Authorized field.
Step 10 reads: Modify the label control in the ItemTemplate on the Authorized field so it ends up like this.
<asp:Label ID='lblAuthorized" runat="server"
Text='<%# GetBooleanText(Eval('Authorized')) %>' />
I have tried this exercisse twice with deleting the reviews.aspx page between tries and both times I can not find the <EditItemTemplate> or the <asp:Label ID="lblAuthorizsed runat="server"..... that has been refereced by steps 9 and 10.
I have checked the "errata" and found no mention of any erros for this try it out. I could certainly just copy your code from the source data but I would much rather know where I went wrong.
Below is the markup code for my Reviews.aspx page. Can you please tell me where my error is or where I went wrong with this try it out.
Thanks!
