Editable/Uneditable Gridview rows on condition

[Mike P]

Is it possible to make an editable gridview so that certain rows are
editable and other are not editable, dependent upon a value in one of
the rows columns?

You can try handling the click event on client side and verify the
conditions. You can return "false" from that event handler to cancel
postback.

I would suggest converting the command to a template so you can access
the link button. Then in your rowcreated event do something like
this.

protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender,
GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
int id = (int) DataBinder.Eval(e.Row.DataItem, "id");
if (id > 1)
{
LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)
e.Row.FindControl("LinkButton1");
lb.Visible = false;
}
}

Make sure you change the command row to a template first. Then this
code will do the trick:


protected void GridView1_RowCreated(object sender,
GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{

if (e.Row.RowIndex == 0)
{
LinkButton lb = (LinkButton)
e.Row.FindControl("LinkButton1");
lb.Text = "newtextbutton";
}
}
