Hi,

I can use a usercontrol as a ItemTemplate for a GridTemplateColumn:
        Dim gct As New GridTemplateColumn 
        With gct 
            .HeaderText = "Schema" 
            .DataField = "Name" 
            .ItemTemplate = LoadTemplate("~/DynamicData/FieldTemplates/Text_List.ascx"
        End With 
        GridView1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(gct) 

In my usercontrol in the DataBinding event (or elsewhere) i can find the DataBindingContainer and NamingContainer and find all the data i need, but:

How do i know, in the usercontrol, that I've bound it to the datafield "name"? When using the template for more columns I have to know that...

Thanks in advance.

Erik

Hi Proovit,

Your template user control should be concerned with this. Particularly, you need to be able to somehow pass the data field of the template column to the user control. One approach would be to first instantiate your user control from the .ascx file, then set some property in the user control indicating the data field you are binding to.
