[Solved] Grid Not working properly after upgrade..!

[Bexm]

Hello!

I have upgraded to the new ajax controls in our project and an existing grid has stopped working properly...

On the ItemDataBound it grabs the value out of column 3 and then runs it through a function to display a new value in column 4 which is a template column.. this is the existing code..

            if( e.Item is GridDataItem ) {
                GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                if (item.OwnerTableView.Name == "ControlFields")
                {
                    CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo(selectedEditCulture);

                    string controlName = item.OwnerTableView.ParentItem["Name"].Text;

                    string culture = ci.Name;
                    string parentCulture = ci.TwoLetterISOLanguageName;

                    string key = item.Cells[4].Text;  //<THIS LINE
                    string value = string.Empty;

                    value = doFunction(key);
                    if (item.IsInEditMode)
                    {

                        TextBox tb = (TextBox)item.FindControl("txtValue");

                        if (tb != null)
                            tb.Text = value;
                    } else {
                        Label lb = (Label)item.FindControl("lblValue");
                        if (lb != null)
                            lb.Text = value;
                    }
                }
            }

This was working fine before we upgraded (altho possibly not the best way of doing it), but now the line

string key = item.Cells[4].Text;

brings back a value of " " when in editmode.

Why would this have stopped working?

Thanks

Hi Bex,

Try accessing the cell value using the columnUniqueName property. Go through the following link for more details.
