Re: Need help with FindControl in DataGrid

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Okay, now i've got my code completely working. I wish I better
understood the scope of the various ways of doing it (cells vs. items,
etc). Anyhow, here's the completed code for the Edit event. Notice the
last 2 lines concerning the label. I'm taking the value from the label
in the Normal Template and using it to change the SelectedValue in the
DropDownList. Is this the "preferred" way, or is there a better way (as
was pointed out earlier in this thread) of finding the Label Control?

Private Sub DataGrid1_EditCommand(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.EditCommand
DataGrid1.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex
btnAddServer.Visible = False
LoadGrid()
Dim ddl As DropDownList =
CType(DataGrid1.Items(e.Item.ItemIndex).FindControl("ddl3"),
DropDownList)
For i As Integer = 0 To ddlTechs.Items.Count - 1
ddl.Items.Add(ddlTechs.Items.Item(i).Value)
Next
Dim lb As Label = CType(e.Item.Cells(3).FindControl("Label3"),
Label)
ddl.SelectedValue = lb.Text
End Sub
