How do I manipulate a control during the Databound event in a GridView?

How do I manipulate a control during the Databound event in a GridView?

I am doing this in the code below. How do I get this to work?

protected void GridView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) 
    {
        GridViewRow row = e.Row;
        int dataKeyIndex;
        string address;
 
        if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
        {
            Panel p = (Panel)row.FindControl("uxAddressPanel");
 
            dataKeyIndex = row.DataItemIndex;
            address = GridView.DataKeys[dataKeyIndex].Values["Address"].ToString();
 
            switch (row.RowState)
            {
                case DataControlRowState.Normal:
 
                    if ((address != null) && (address != ""))
                        p.Visible = true;
                    else
                        p.Visible = false;
 
                    break;
 
                case (DataControlRowState.Edit | DataControlRowState.Selected):
 
                    RadioButtonList r = (RadioButtonList)row.FindControl("AddRadioButtonList");
                    
                    if ((address != null) && (address != ""))
                    {
                        p.Visible = true;
                        r.SelectedValue = "True";
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        p.Visible = false;
                        r.SelectedValue = "False";
                    }
                        
                    break;
            }
        }
    }

It would be much easier to answer if you told us what in the code doesn't work...
That error are you getting?

Your right...sorry...was in a hurry writing this....

It doesn't execute the switch statement.

The state is a bitwise combination...
So to check for a state you would use a bitwise comparison like this:

if (row.RowState&DataControlRowState.Normal)
{
...
}

>>Enum type sometimes don't work with switch statement. Why don't you just use if-else statement?

Tried and it still doesn't execute either condition

>>if (row.RowState&DataControlRowState.Normal)

This fails

Any ideas?

>>if (row.RowState&DataControlRowState.Normal)
{
...
}

I get this error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0029: Cannot implicitly convert type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlRowState' to 'bool'

k, got it to almost work...

used DataControlRowState.Alternate with Normal to get these rows in a normal state,

But when I click Edit I get every other row to work...how do I get the Alternate row in Edit mode?

if (row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Normal || row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Alternate)
{
...
}
else if (e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit)
{
...
}

Try "
if (row.RowState&DataControlRowState.Normal == DataControlRowState.Normal)
...

>>if (row.RowState&DataControlRowState.Normal == DataControlRowState.Normal)
...

I get an error:

Compiler Error Message: CS0019: Operator '&' cannot be applied to operands of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlRowState' and 'bool'

When I click Edit. All odd rows are executing the statements within the if statement. All even rows are not.

This is when I have the code below as the if statement.

if (row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit)
{
....
}
