Access grid template controls in DataBound

[Radoslaw]

Hi!

Can I access controls in grid template column after data bound (in RadGrid.DataBound)?
I need to hide one control inside the column and i dont want to do this for every row. Is it possible?

Hello Radoslaw,

Yes, It is possible to access the controls in DataBound event. You need to loop through the items using the following code and use the FindControl() method to access the control.

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (GridDataItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
        {
            Label lb = (Label)item.FindControl("lblUsername");
            string v = lb.Text;
        }
    }

A better approach would be using the ItemDataBound event than DataBound. Check the following demo for more information on this.

It is not was is perfect but is acceptable.
The reason i want to do this after data bind is beasuse i need to do some heavy work. I want to do this once and then apply result to the grid.
Thanks.
