The problem is the dataGridItem.Cells[0] is returning blanks and it's defined as a hyperlink column which is databound. When the grid loads it looks fine, however, when I attempt to get the data from that cell it returns blanks.


dgLoanStatus is the datagrid

foreach (DataGridItem dataGridItem in dgLoanStatus.Items)
{
 string status = dataGridItem.Cells[0].Text;
 for(int i = 0; i < roleList.Count; i++)
  {
   if(status == roleList[i].ToString())
      dataGridItem.Cells[0].Enabled = true;
   else
      dataGridItem.Cells[0].Enabled = false;
  }
}

When you use a HyperLinkColumn in a datagrid, the datagrid create's a HyperLink web control in the grid's cell. So you have to reference the HyperLink control throught the cell's controls collection and convert to a HyperLink:

CType(dataGridItem.Cells(0).Controls(0), HyperLink)

You can then access any of the HyperLink's properties.

CType(dataGridItem.Cells(0).Controls(0), HyperLink).Text
CType(dataGridItem.Cells(0).Controls(0), HyperLink).NavigateUrl
