[Solved] How do I get column for a user control

[Jerry Kurata]

Hi,

I have a gridview with several columns that can contain a user control.  These columns are created dynamically and I need to know which column contains the user control.  How can I determine from within the user control the column?  I tried using code of the form:
GridViewColumn gc = this.ParentofType<GridViewColumn>();, but this always returns null.

Thanks,

jerry

Hi Jerry Kurata,

 You need to find the parent GridViewCell (using ParentOfType<>) and then query its Column property to find out which column you are in.

All the best,
