Dynamically Change a DataGrid Value

[dauphian]

Greetings,

I have a dataSet that I am loading into a dataGrid where one of the
columns values is simply one letter. I need to be able to assign that
letter to word:

BoundColumn type = new BoundColumn();
type.DataField = "type";
type.DataFormatString = checkType("{0}");
type.HeaderText = "Type";
type.HeaderStyle.Font.Bold = true;

public string checkType(object type)
{
string checkType = (string)type.ToString();

switch (checkType)
{
case "S":
return "Series";
case "R":
return "Random";
default:
return "Unknown!";
}
}

This is all being done in codebehind and currently it just displays
Unknown! on the page. So I think the values of S or R are not being
passed correctly to check this, or I am doing something wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Have you tried to attach an event handler in for the
dataGrid.OnDataBound or OnDataBinding to trigger the switch statement.
Works only in .net 2.0 I think (GridView).
