Appending Controls into a GridDataItem

[Mark H]

I am handling the ItemDataBound event and in certain instances want to add some extra HTML content into a table cell /after/ the data which I expect to see there as a result of it being a GridBoundColumn.

To do this I just do something like:

                    HyperLink oHL = new HyperLink();
                    oHL.Text = sReferrerText;
                    oHL.NavigateUrl = sReferrerURL;

                    oDataItem["Site"].Controls.Add( new LiteralControl("<br/>") );
                    oDataItem["Site"].Controls.Add(oHL);

On rows where this code gets executed the content I add is displayed /but/ the GridBoundColumn value that I would expect to precede it does not get output. If I do not do the appending of the controls, the data bound value is output correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi MarkH,

Give a try with the following approach and see whether the cell text is preceding the Hyperlink inside the Grid cell.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem oDataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            HyperLink oHL = new HyperLink();
            oHL.Text = sReferrerText;
            oHL.NavigateUrl = sReferrerURL;

            string cellText = oDataItem["Site"].Text;
            oDataItem["Site"].Controls.Add(new LiteralControl(cellText+ "<br/>"));
            oDataItem["Site"].Controls.Add(oHL);
        }

    }

Thanks
