Can't duplicate ID in subclassed GridView

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I switched two controls from GridView to EmptyGridView. When it was GridVIew
both controls (on the same page) had a
<Columns><TemplateField><ItemTemplate><LinkButton ID="DeleteButton"... and it
was ok that both had the same ID name.

Once I switched to EmptyGridView that is now an error and I cannot build
unles I rename one. As EmptyGridView inherits from GridView why is this a
problem?

Hi David,

Unfortunately I haven't found further information regarding this issue.
However, we could use another workaround.

We could use <tagMapping> in web.config to automatically change all
<asp:GridView> to use inherited EmptyGridView, provided that you want all
GridView in your web site to convert to EmptyGridView.

<system.web>
<pages>
<tagMapping>
<add tagType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridView"
mappedTagType="myns.EmptyGridView,App_Code" />
</tagMapping>
</pages>
</system.web>

Using this way, you don't need to modify your existing WebForm to change
tag <asp:GridView> to EmptyGridView, thus will not cause the issue you've
mentioned.

In the meanwhile, please feel free to submit your feedback at

Please let me know whether or not this works for you. Thanks.
