C#

I want to add the values in the column and place the result in the gridview footer row. I'm using below code but its getting fired before i fill the gridview and going into header row if statement.
Could you please tell me which event to use to get the values in the footer row.

Note: The values i'm adding are in the label inside the gridview. I need to manually enter the values inside the gridview and perform calculations.

protected void GridViewHW_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
DataRowView tabledata = e.Row.DataItem as DataRowView;
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)
{
TotalHWCost = 0;
}
else if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
TotalHWCost += Convert.ToInt16(tabledata[3]);
}
else if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Footer)
{
Label TotalHWCostref = e.Row.FindControl("LabelTotalHardwareCost") as Label;
TotalHWCostref.Text = "$"+TotalHWCost.ToString();
}

}

Can I use any of them OnRowCommand/OnRowCreated??

johnaryan

They are both used slightly differently.
OnRowCommand is used when a command button is used to update the row. The OnrowCreated fires when a new row is added.
Here's a goog article on how and when to use both:

As long as you have the given the Labels id's in the row, you be able to reference them using code like:
Label label = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("myLabel");
