Accessing unbound DetailsView cell values when Detailsview DefaultMode is Edit
- by Nickson
i have a DetailsView that is populated by a Linq to Entities query. Example query is below.
Dim Record = From L In db.MyRecords _
Where L.RecordID = 100 _
Select ID = L.RecordID, L.column1, L.column2, L.column3, L.column4
DetailsView2.DataSource = Record
DetailsView2.DataBind()
The defaultMode for the DetailsView is Edit. Now if this Detailsview was bound to a datasource control, i would convert a column to a templateColumn and programatically access cell values like so
Dim NameTextBox As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox = CType(DetailsView2.Rows(1).Cells(1).FindControl("TextBox1"), System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox)
such that i can then say NameTextBox.Text to get the Name value.
But the problem i have is, with this detailsview which is unbound, i have no column at design time to convert to a template, and yet i want to access its cell values. help is appreciated.
