Question

i have an gridview that retrieves the data via a datatable like this:

    protected DataTable allClients() 
{
    string conn, comm, tSub, tMain;
    tSub = "client_sub";
    tMain = "client_main"; 

    conn = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["localsqlserver"].ConnectionString;
    comm = "SELECT * FROM [" + tSub + "] t1 LEFT JOIN [" + tMain + "] t2 ON " +
                "t1.customer_ID = t2.customer_ID";

    SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(conn);
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(comm, connection);
    connection.Open();

    DataTable allTable = new DataTable();
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
    da.Fill(allTable);

    connection.Close();
    return allTable;
}

clientGrid.DataSource = allClients();
    clientGrid.DataBind();

and its working fine on retrieving the data but the problem is i am trying to decrypt the value on retrieving it.

i used this encryptor class

so how can decrypt the value of each row in the gridview.

using asp.net 4.0, thanks

Two options – you can loop around the data table in your allClients() method before returning it, or you can look into handling the row bound events when you do the data bind on the grid view – this would allow you to access each row as its created in the grid view and manipulate the data displayed.
