Add control to cell on dynamic grid

[Randy]

I am writing out a grid dynamically and I need to add a control to a specific cell. I am able to get the cell I need but the control does not appear in the cell.

TRC(

"TRC").Controls.Add(AddTRCLink(TRC.Cells(x).Text, Session("IDforAcc")))

For example or

TRC.Cells(x).Controls.Add(AddTRCLink(TRC.Cells(x).Text, Session("IDforAcc")))

the AddTRCLink fucntion returns a placeholder that has vavious other contols in it.  this works fine using the default gridview.

Also I am unble to even set the text property as a simple test.

Any Ideas?

Hi Randy,

Try accessing the Grid cell using its Column UniqueName property and try to add controls as shown below.

CS:

 protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
     {

         if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
         {
             GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
             Label lbl = new Label();
             lbl.ID = "newlbl";
             lbl.Text = "HELLO";
             item["columnUniqueName"].Controls.Add(lbl);
         }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.
