Adding buttons in a ButtonColumn in a DataGrid a row at a time

[Adam White]

I have a DataGrid and I have added a ButtonColumn that fires a
function on the row it corresponds to.

The problem I am having is I only want to display a button at the end
of a row if the "status" column in the row is set to "new". At the
moment there is a button at the end of every row.

Is there a way to do this?

One way would be to catch the ItemDataBound event of the DataGrid.
Inside the event first check e.Item.ItemType to make sure you are
binding an Item or AlternatingItem (as opposed to a header or footer
item). If you have a real row, then check the status column and hide
the button (.Visible=false) if need be.

One way to locate the button is to use e.Item.FindControl("ButtonID")
