Question

I have a code:

 protected void gvContacts_RowDatabound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
    {       

    Label label = new Label();
    label.Text = "test";        

    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow && e.Row.RowIndex == 0)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
        {
            e.Row.Cells[i].Controls.Add(label);  //doesnt work
            e.Row.Cells[i].Text = "this works";

        }
    }
}

where label does not appear to my cells. What’s wrong?

Answer 1

You need create a new instance of your label in each loop

for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
   label = new Label();
   label.Text = "test";
   e.Row.Cells[i].Controls.Add(label);
   e.Row.Cells[i].Text = "this works";
}
