I am using a gridview control with bound datafields. The query returns 6 fields from the DB.
Fields are: ID field, Client Name, and then 4 boolean fields.
These are currently all bound fields, the first two fields (ID and Client Name) are intended to display the text contained in the database. the next three boolean fields are intended to be links that open specific forms, they display "true" and "False" depending on the boolean value returned by query. The final boolean field is a checkbox that represents if an internal employee has printed the clients forms or not.
I am tasked with allowing the check of a box in the printed column to update a record on the database, I believe I have this done.
Next, I would like the links in the middle three bool fields to be handeled differently. Instead of a True/False display, I would like to place the name of the form the link directs to, but only in the case of a true, if the value is false, i want to leave the display blank.... this way someone looking at the table will only see links for elements available that have already been completed by the client.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

I have done:
OnRowDataBound="GridView1_
as a part of my gridview control and then the following for the function in the codebehind:
protected void GridView1_RowBind(object sender , GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
e.Row.Cells[2].Text.ToStri
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow
{
if (e.Row.Cells[2].Text.Conta
e.Row.Cells[2].Text = "Completed";
else
e.Row.Cells[2].Text = "";
if (e.Row.Cells[3].Text.Conta
e.Row.Cells[3].Text = "Completed";
else
e.Row.Cells[3].Text = "";
if (e.Row.Cells[4].Text.Conta
e.Row.Cells[4].Text = "Completed";
else
e.Row.Cells[4].Text = "";
}
}
however, the call e.Row.Cells[2].Text.ToStri
At the very begining of the conditional statements I put the call for
e.Row.Cells[2].Text.ToStri
with a break point, upon hitting this break, there is no text in the field, If I let it run without calling these conditional statements, the cells are populated with True and False, so I can change the capital letter, but still, it doesn't hit it because there is, at the point of checking, no data in the fields.... what and when and how should I call this method?
outside of the following condition, you may get some data, for e.Row.Cells[2].ToString. The row maybe the header, or footer, not datarow.
What you've done so far is correct, but you need to remove the line:
e.Row.Cells[2].Text.ToStri
It's out of the following condition
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow
Correct, it is outside the condition... however I was simply using it to mouse over and see the contents of that cell. It hits the conditional statement, however it always selects the else clause as at no point during my execution do I see any value in the field referenced by the e.Row.Cells[2].Text. Please find attached, my html source. Also, this is a control in a webform with a master page.
Hi, I want to see the html source after the .aspx page being rendered for your gridview part instead of .aspx source. Because when you're doing debugging, it hits the condition,
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow
This may be the html you waned... sorry, I was confused. Upon running the program, I did view source and this is the section of code that deals with the gridview. What is this about debug and a monitor window? I have been using break points and mousing over the variable in question to see what it contains. (Hence the e.rows.cells[2].tostring()
Using the quick watch feature, all cells (1-7) have a text value of "" on run, only after the page loads does the data appear... When exactly is the data bound to the gridview? It doesn't seem as if the data is present at the point in which we are checking for it! I think I might need to call this function by another means once the page has already obtained the bound relationships to the dataset.
Hi,
I'm so sorry that I did not read your gridview properly, because I've got so many things to do. I did not realize it's a button field, I think it's a bound field until I read your HTML source after it's being rendered, I was thinking why it's a hyper link???? Then I found out what happened.
Please see the attached code, and leave it to you for cell3, cell4 to finish. First, replaced with my code, then run it. Once it's working, make changes.

You need to use RowBind event to handle this when populating the GridView
public void RowBind(Object sender , GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow
{
if (e.Row.Cells[1].Text.Conta
//logic to do changes
}
}
