Hi-

I have a GridView control that has a dynamically added control in one column. What sort of control gets added is based on what the content is - could be a textbox, RTF Editor (instead of a normal textarea, similar to what I'm writing this post in), datepicker, etc. I'm getting the data into the control just fine when I go into edit mode for a row, but can't seem to get the contents of that control when I try to save changes and update that row.

I've tried using the RowUpdating event for the GridView control as well as the Updating event for the SQLDatasource control that the GridView is bound to. (And a whole lot of other ideas, but I'm running out)

Anyone had experience with this? ASP.NET 2, VB.NET, Visual Studio 2005 Pro and SQL Server 2005 Standard...

Thanks,

Jason

Hi Jason,

     I was wondering if you ever got a solution to your problem. I am going through the exact same thing.

Giovanni,

Unfortunately not really. I think it has to do with at what point things are created in the lifecycle of the page, but I couldn't find any other way to figure out what controls I needed any earlier. So instead I've scrapped using the GridView and created a dynamic table instead, dynamically creating all the controls and then calling the SQL SP to do the update. That's been working fine.
