[Solved] why does this not work?

[Jeff]

protected

 

void RADGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

 

 

 

{

 

 

 

if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

 

{

 

GridDataItem dataItem = e.Item as GridDataItem;

 

 

 

if (dataItem["UserName"].Text.Trim() == "Jeff")

 

 

 

{ 

 

 

dataItem["Delete"].Visible = false;

 

 

 

}

 

 

 

}

}

the unique columns are both template columns

Hi Jeff,

Since you are using GridTemplateColumns I hope you are having controls inside the ItemTemplate. If so you need to access the controls first and then its value. Here is a sample code which I tried on my end. If this does not meet your requirement I would suggest you to send your aspx code.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="UserName" HeaderText="UserName"  >
                     <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("UserName") %>'></asp:Label>
                     </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                 <telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="Delete" HeaderText="Delete"  >
                     <ItemTemplate>
                         <asp:Button ID="Button4" runat="server" Text="Delete" />
                     </ItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

CS:

 protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            Label lbl = (Label)item["UserName"].FindControl("Label1");
            if (lbl.Text.Trim() == "Jeff")
            {
                Button btn = (Button)item["Delete"].FindControl("Button4");
                btn.Visible = false;
            }
        }
    }

Hope this helps..
