ItemDataBound event of DataGrid

[Dave]

Hello.
How can I field value in ItemDataBound event of the DataGrid control?
I'm writing:
e.Item.Cells[0].Text;

But this always returns empty string

Thank You.

Consider doing e.Item.FindControl("controlId")

like

TextBox txt = (TextBox) e.Item.FindControl("userName");
if (txt != null){
//found it
}

it's less performant but 100% more readable and won't change when you alter
your html code....also, in case ur wondering, [0] is probably blank 'cuz I
believe whitespaces are converted to literals...which makes the [0] method
even more unreliable.
