Adding textbox to gridview

My problem is that I have a gridview with five rows and an unknow number of columns. What I want to do is in row 1 I want each column to be a textbox and in the next row create a button/link to create a report for each column. My problem is only the last column is being changed to a textbox. Here is my code.

HTML Code:

---

Protected Sub gvReport_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvReport.RowDataBound

Dim link() As String

Dim tb8 As New WebControls.TextBox

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

If e.Row.RowIndex = 1 Then

' Display the company name in italics.

For i As Integer = 1 To e.Row.Cells.Count - 2

tb8.Width = 30

tb8.Font.Size = 12

tb8.Font.Name = "Times Roman"

tb8.Text = e.Row.Cells(i).Text

e.Row.Cells(i).Controls.Add(tb8)

Next

End If

ReDim link(e.Row.Cells.Count - 1)

If e.Row.RowIndex = 2 Then

For i As Integer = 1 To e.Row.Cells.Count - 1

If e.Row.Cells(i).Text <> "N/A" Then

e.Row.Cells(i).Text = "<u>" & e.Row.Cells(i).Text & "</u>"

' e.Row.Cells(i).Text = "<a href='mailto:" & e.Row.Cells(i).Text & "'>" & e.Row.Cells(i).Text & "</a>"

link(i) = e.Row.Cells(i).Text

End If

Next

End If

End If

End Sub

Mrrenzo0861,

I am going to assume that you are using ASP.Net and move your question to the ASP.Net forum. If this is not the case, then let me know.

Hello Mrrenzo0861,

In order to best help you we are going to need to fully understand what you are trying to achieve. Is it possible that you can create a mockup of exactly what you want?

Thanks

Gary

What is happening is the user puts in the search criteria. And depending on the information put in the app creates a gridview of the data with 5 rows and a various number of columns. The first row should be all textboxes and the second row should be a link to run a report. And yes asp.net is the front end.

Hello,

Did you see my question about creating a mock up? From the description that you have provided, it is quite difficult to visualise the requirement.

I solved my problem while trying to solve a different issue. I was missing this statement in my .aspx file.
OnRowDataBound="gvReport_RowDataBound"

Hello,

Glad to hear that you got it sorted!!

If your question has been answered/resolved, can you please remember to mark your thread as resolved?

Thanks

Gary
