Blank value returned on ItemDataBound event using e.Item.Cells

[JC]

Hi,

I have a datagrid and want to be able to assess the value of one cell
on each line in order to hide or display the hyperlink in the next
cell. I therefore used the ItemDataBound, and intially wrote the cell
values to screen (to test it) - however, for some reason only only the
first column rows are visble?

The first column is just text, the second is a TemplateColumn - could
this be a problem? If so, any ideas how to get around it?

Any help would be appreciated:

*****************************CODE BEHIND*****************************
private void dgCreationTermination_ItemDataBound(object sender,
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)
{
if((e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) ||
(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item) )
{

Response.Write(e.Item.Cells[0].Text + "<br>");
Response.Write(e.Item.Cells[1].Text + "<br>");
Response.Write(e.Item.Cells[2].Text + "<br>");
}
}
