accessing control in EmptyDataTemplate

[Jeff]

hi

asp.net 2.0

I have a GridView here with some controls in it's EmptyDataTemplate. I'm
wondering how I can get access to those controls. I've tryed using
FindControl, but that doesn't work because EmptyDataTemplate doesn't have
that method

<EmptyDataTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtCode" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtDesc" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbEmpty" OnClick="lbEmpty_Click" runat="server">Legg
til</asp:LinkButton>
</EmptyDataTemplate>

(BTW, it is in the lbEmpty_Click method I'm trying to access the txtCode and
txtDesc textboxes. it's here the problem occur)

Any suggestions?

try:


void lbEmpty_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var parent = ((Control) sender).Parent;
var txtCode = parent.FindControl("txtCode") as TextBox;
var txtDesc = parent.FindControl("txtDesc") as TextBox;
}

when grid source has no data, you have the row from emptydataTemplate which is not placed in normal Rows collection but is nested in Control(0) of gridview (which is a ChildTable that comes from System.Web.Ui.Controls and it is a
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Table

in these situations you can get the gridviewRow this way:
vb code
dim dr as GridViewRow= gridview1.Controls(0).Controls(0)
c# code
GridViewRow dr= gridview1.Controls(0).Controls(0)

Now you can use findControl with dr to get your controls:
dr.FindControls("yourControlId")


Have happy coding,
