[Solved] ItemDataBound hitting every 2nd row?

[Ciaran]

Hey , I'm looping through a heairarchichal rad grid with 1 lkinkbutton in each section
I'm checking if the length is over a ceratin number and if it is, shorten it and add a tooltip....fairly standard stuff

 Private Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound

        If e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.Item Then

            Dim linkbutton1 As LinkButton = e.Item.FindControl("linkbutton1")
            If linkbutton1 Is Nothing Then
            Else

                If linkbutton1.Text.Length > 30 Then

                    linkbutton1linkbutton1.ToolTip = linkbutton1.Text
                    linkbutton1linkbutton1.Text = linkbutton1.Text.Substring(0, 40) + "..."
                End If
            End If

            Dim linkbutton2 As LinkButton = e.Item.FindControl("linkbutton2")
            If linkbutton2 Is Nothing Then
            Else

                If linkbutton2.Text.Length > 30 Then

                    linkbutton2linkbutton2.ToolTip = linkbutton2.Text
                    linkbutton2linkbutton2.Text = linkbutton2.Text.Substring(0, 40) + "..."
                End If
            End If

            Dim linkbutton3 As LinkButton = e.Item.FindControl("linkbutton3")
            If linkbutton3 Is Nothing Then
            Else

                If linkbutton3.Text.Length > 30 Then

                    linkbutton3linkbutton3.ToolTip = linkbutton3.Text
                    linkbutton3linkbutton3.Text = linkbutton3.Text.Substring(0, 40) + "..."
                End If
            End If

        End If

    End Sub

for some reason , the code only hits every 2nd row in each of the grids !

any ideas?

Hello Ciaran,

The ItemType attribute of an item is used to differentiate between the normal rows(odd rows) of a grid and alternating rows(even rows) of the grid. Hence, if you want to clip the text of the linkbuttons for all the rows in the grid, you can rewrite the following line of your code

If e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.Item Then

with the following code instead and check if it helps:

If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then

Thanks
Princy.
