GridView take a Row

Question

net 4 and c#.

I have a GridView, I would like take a Row when in Edit Mode in my code and find a control.

Here my code, but does not work, it takes only the first row for the GridView.

Any ideas?

protected void uxManageSlotsDisplayer_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{

    switch (e.Row.RowType)
    {
        case DataControlRowType.DataRow:

        // Take Row in Edit Mode DOES NOT WORK PROEPRLY
        if (e.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit)
        {
            Label myTest = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("uxTest");
        }
        break;

    }

MY CODE EXAMPLES: GridView row in edit mode

SOLUTIONS: After reading this: Gridview row editing - dynamic binding to a DropDownList

        protected void uxList_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow &&
                (e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) == DataControlRowState.Edit)
        {
            // Here you will get the Control you need like:
            Label dl = (Label)e.Row.FindControl("uxLblTest");
            dl.Text = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx";
        }
    }

We need more information: what row do you need, the one that's the current selected row, or the row that's being edited, or multiple rows in edit mode ? — Steven Ryssaert, Mar 02 '11 at 15:41
Hi i need the Row being edited (the row is in edit mode), so should be a unique ROW in edit mode (after the user click edit). any ideas? — GibboK, Mar 02 '11 at 15:50

you shoud set EditItemIndex in the grid before datatabind. you can do it in RowEditing event, as in this example:

Edit: Added check for DataRow

 if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit)

instead of

 if (e.RowState == DataControlRowState.Edit)

thanks but did not solve the problem... any other ideas? no one in SO seems know the answer :-( – GibboK Mar 02 '11 at 15:30
Edited! I have added the check for RowType. I have similar code in a few for my apps and they work. – Bala R Mar 02 '11 at 15:40
Hi, now is working but ONLY for the FIRST Row in the GridView... very strange? What do you think? I need the same for every row in the GridView. Please let me now many thanks – GibboK Mar 02 '11 at 15:49
Yes in fact, if i put in edit mode the first role your code is working. If i select the second or others rows does not work. quite strange – GibboK Mar 02 '11 at 16:07
Have you tried the RowEditing event? you'll have to have `var currentRow = GridView1.Rows[e.NewEditIndex];` to get the current row. – Bala R Mar 02 '11 at 16:10
im trying but im now able to make it. – GibboK Mar 02 '11 at 16:11
