I have created a DataGrid with 4 columns. In the ItemTemplate tag I have two textboxes to accept inputs. 1 command button and one Result column. While loading the page I use a DataTable and Dataview is datasource for the DataGrid. Then I bind the grid. What I want to know is do I have to bind a grid in ItemCommand as well. My main problem is the control does not go in the ItemCommand event.
HTML and Code is as follows:
<body bgColor="#99ccff" MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:datagrid id="DataGrid1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 288px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 80px"
runat="server" BackColor="Silver" ForeColor="Blue" Font-Size="Small" Font-Names="Courier New"
HorizontalAlign="Center" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BorderColor="Blue" Visible="True" EnableViewState =True >
<EditItemStyle Font-Size="Small" Font-Names="Times New Roman" ForeColor="Red" BackColor="Silver"></EditItemStyle>
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="String1">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Visible="True" Text= '<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"val1")%>' EnableViewState = True >
</asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="String2">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox id=TextBox2 runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" Text= '<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"val2")%>' Visible = True EnableViewState = True >
</asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Concat Buttons">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="Button1" Runat="server" Text="Concatinate" CommandName="Concat" EnableViewState =True > </asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Result">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label id="Label1" Visible="True" ForeColor="#C000C0" BackColor="#FFFFC0" Runat="server" EnableViewState =True></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid></form>
</body>
