Mark,
since i'm from the mtv generation I dont have the patience to read all of
your code but
it looks like you need to declare a textbox to get access to the textbox from
inside yourdatagrid, dont use a string. My C# is rusty, but vb.net is
something like:
<code> Dim txtSomeTextbox As Textbox
txtSomeTextBox.Text = ((TextBox)e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0]).Text;
Dim strSomeString As String = txtSomeTextBox.Text
</code>

Hi all,
I'm trying to get values from 2 texboxes from a datagrid for an item that
allows edits.
Here is the code that I'm using to fetch my value from the first control in
the first column of the datagrid:
string strUpdatedStatusName = ((TextBox)e.Item.Cells[0].Controls[0]).Text;
But I'm getting this error:
System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
Here's my datagrid:
<asp:DataGrid ID="dgrStatusList" Width="98%"
OnEditCommand="dgrStatusList_Edit" OnUpdateCommand="dgrStatusList_Update"
PagerStyle-Mode="NumericPages" OnCancelCommand="dgrStatusList_Cancel"
CssClass="TableText" DataKeyField="Status_ID" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
HeaderStyle-BackColor="#c0c0c0" HeaderStyle-CssClass="sideNavLinkHeaderText"
Runat="server" AlternatingItemStyle-BackColor="#e0e0e0">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderStyle-Width="40%">
<HeaderTemplate>
Status
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Status_Name") %>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUpdatedStatusName" Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Status_Name") %>' CssClass="RegularText"
Runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator
ControlToValidate="txtUpdatedStatusName" Text="* Required"
CssClass="SmallRedConfirmText" Runat="server" ID="Requiredfieldvalidator1"
NAME="Requiredfieldvalidator1"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderStyle-Width="20%">
<HeaderTemplate>
Sort Order
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Sort_Order") %>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUpdatedStatusSortOrder" Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Sort_Order") %>' CssClass="EvenSmallerBox"
Runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator
ControlToValidate="txtUpdatedStatusSortOrder" Text="* Required"
CssClass="SmallRedConfirmText" Runat="server" ID="Requiredfieldvalidator2"
NAME="Requiredfieldvalidator1"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderStyle-Width="15%">
<HeaderTemplate>
Delete
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
[<a href="javascript:onClick=ConfirmDelete('Status', <%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Status_ID") %>);">delete</a>]
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
<asp:EditCommandColumn EditText="Edit" UpdateText="Update"
CancelText="Cancel"></asp:EditCommandColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
I can do this in VB.NET but cannot seem to get it to work in C#. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark
