Question

I have a GridView.
At event _RowDataBound I need take the underlying value from every single Field (ex let immagine FirstName), apply some logic to it, and display the field modify to a Textbox.

My problem is I do not the syntax to get the values connected with the e.Row.DataItmem for a single row.

Any idea how to do it? Please provide me an example of code. I posted this question in past but without understanding the answer. Thanks

switch (e.Row.RowType)
        {
            // In case type of row is DataRow (a data row of GridView) 
            case DataControlRowType.DataRow:
                // What I add here?
                break;
        }

Answer 1

it depends on the property names of the object you used as the gridvieww datasource, so if you had a column named FirstName, you can access it like this:

DataRowView row = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
string name = row["FirstName"].ToString(); 

a better approach i always use is to cast the DataItem object itself to my bound class. for example if the gridview datasource is a List<Employee>, i do the following:

Employee item = (Employee) e.Row.DataItem;

then you can access all the properties using the item
