ASP.NET GridView

[Peter]

ASP.NET 3.5

I have a Gridview which display just fine
I have Delete and Update Template on this GridView

When I click on the Delete button on the GridView the following event fires
RowDeleting(object sender, GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)

but when I try to retrieve the data from a cell inside the RowDeleting event

protected void gvEducation_RowDeleting(object sender,
GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
string transactionID = gvEducation.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[4].Text;

this._dt.DeleteEducation(transactionID);
this.BindEducationGrid();
}

the transactionID is always blank, but on the screen it displays values
(each cell has some value), actually all of the Cells return blanks, but
display data.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank You

Peter

Yes I am calling BindEducationGrid() every time, currently there are only 3
records in the table and Rows.Count shows 3 rows but cells return blanks
(not nulls, blanks) but display actual data.

There's almost certainly your problem. Surround the BindEducationGrid() in
Page_Load with a check for postback:

if (!IsPostBack)
{
BindEducationGrid();
}

Sill getting the same problem, the grid knows how many rows and columns and
displays correct data but when I try to retreive values from a cell it's
allways blank

Hi Peter,

but when I try to retrieve the data from a cell inside the RowDeleting event

protected void gvEducation_RowDeleting(object sender,
GridViewDeleteEventArgs e)
{
string transactionID = gvEducation.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[4].Text;

this._dt.DeleteEducation(transactionID);
this.BindEducationGrid();
}

the transactionID is always blank, but on the screen it displays values
(each cell has some value), actually all of the Cells return blanks, but
display data.

Could you post your aspx code? Are you using a control to render data, like
below?

<asp:TemplateField><ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("id")
%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate></asp:TemplateField>

If so the Text property of this Cell is always empty string.

That was the problem, I had labels in those cells, sorry for wasting
everyones time!

I had couple of columns that did not have any controls, but the data in the
database was blank and I was looking at those cells and the ones with the
labels and forgot that I put labels on those cells.

Thank You for your help.
