Question

I have an aspx page which has a GridView and a Panel with Summary Data. The Summary Data is in a control and the GridView is on the aspx page. When someone clicks an item in the Summary Data, I want to rebind the GridView, but I can’t figure out how to do it from the control.

I tried using FindControl, but probably did not use it correctly.

I tried this with FindControl, but it didn’t work:

GridView gv = (GridView)FindControl('gvSearchResults'); //returns null 

Answer 1

You should send a GridView reference to the control as a Property of the control (

public GridView GridViewToRebind {get; set;} 

or something).
