not able to hide Delete link

[L]

hi

I don't seem to be able to hide the Delete command based on certain condition? These are my code:

 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Invitation_Date" DataType="System.DateTime"
            HeaderText="Invitation Date" DataFormatString="{0:dd/MM/yyy}" SortExpression="Invitation_Date"
            UniqueName="Invitation_Date">
        </telerik:GridBoundColumn>
        <telerik:GridButtonColumn ButtonType="LinkButton" CommandName="Delete" ConfirmText="Are You Sure?"
            HeaderText="Delete" Text="Delete" UniqueName="DeleteColumn">
        </telerik:GridButtonColumn>

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.ItemDataBound
        If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
            Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
            If item("Invitation_Date").Text Is Nothing Then
                Dim btn As LinkButton = DirectCast(item("DeleteColumn").Controls(0), LinkButton)
                btn.Visible = False
            End If
        End If

    End Sub

Hello,

 Since the empty cell in grid is rendered in HTML as "&nbsp;", you have to compare the cell with "&nbsp;" to check whether the cell contains any value or not .

VB.Net

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(sender As Object, e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridDataItem Then
        Dim item As GridDataItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridDataItem)
        If item("Invitation_Date").Text = " " Then
            Dim btn As LinkButton = DirectCast(item("DeleteColumn").Controls(0), LinkButton)
            btn.Visible = False
        End If
    End If
End Sub
