Dynamic EditItemTemplate

[sysdesigner]

I am dynamically building EditItemTemplate columns for a datagrid. Whenever

the "edit" or "update" commands are issued the event code fires but there

isn't any textbox controls in the Item collection. The following code yields a

"null" reference on postback, when there should be a textbox called txtOne in

the collection.

 

textBoxOne = (TextBox)e.Item.FindControl("txtOne");

 

Any ideas?

 

TIA ,

Shawn

 

PS. The following article shows the method that I am using to create the

template columns.

Your method for finding the control is fine but the problem is in the way that you're creating the controls;

 

You are probably adding an ItemTemplate but not an EditItemTemplate, so for each ItemTemplate you add you need to also add an EditItemTemplate, (In this case as a TextBox control).
