A solution to finding controls in datagrid footer...

[Nofear]

Hi all,

I saw a lots of developers posting question on finding controls in
datagrid footer...
I have experimenting differents solution and find one that needn't
ItemDataBound ou ItemCommand :

Table tbl = (Table)dgWorkgroup.Controls[0];

foreach(TableRow row in tbl.Rows)
{
RequiredFieldValidator val =
(RequiredFieldValidator)row.FindControl("requireVa lidatorFooterName");
if(val != null)
{
val.Visible = true;
}
}

Casting dgWorkgroup.Controls[0] to Table allow you to scan in the Rows
collection of the table (header and footer included) so on a
particular row you can find your control(s)....


Hope helping you !

Thanks a bunch. It works great; clever too. Indeed, I had the same
problem--disabling the validation controls in the footer.
