Add TextBox to GridView

[Gabriel]

Hello,

Is there a way to add a Textbox to a GridView ? I'd like one TextBox by
record.

Thanks,

By "adding" a textbox, I assume you are referring to allow inserting of
records (i.e. an Add interface to a Gridview?) Or are you talking about
the fields that appear when you click Edit? Could you be more specific?

If this is for insert then these should help you,

In fact for each record, I'd like add a TextBox. When I display the grid the
all textbox are empty, I add something in manually. I have a ButtonField to,
when I click on it in the event RowCommand, I'd like recover the value of
the textbox.

Add the Textbox ok :
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Qty">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbQty" runat="server" Width="25px"
MaxLength="3" />
</ItemTemplate>
<ItemStyle Width="25px" HorizontalAlign="Center"/>
</asp:TemplateField>

That's work, the last problem if recover the value from the RowCommand
event.

Thanks,

Gabriel,

To get to the textbox inside a Gridview, you need to use FindControl to
find the textbox inside a control and cast it to TextBox.

Hope this helps,

Textbox.text property inside detailsview returns empty

When I use findcontrol to get back my textbox I am able to retrieve the object, but my text property always comes back as empty, not null just empty. Any ideas?
