Gurus ! Dynamic controls & retrieving values...

[eL_NiNo]

HI all, I've come across a problem and I have no clue on how to resolve this :

I ha ev a datagrid that must display dynamic fields & value :
[Custom field 1] (label) : [Custom Field 1 Value] (textbox)
[Custom field 2] (label) : [Custom Field 2 Value] (textbox)
...
It works, as I am adding these fields in a datagrid within its cells.
Now, when the page has been sent and another event (after new postback) wants to retrieve values in those fields, these controls cannot be find and do not exists anymore... (Viewstate don't recognize them as part of page..)

So, what can I do to allow user to edit custom-made fields ???

Thanks in advance,

You might be able to achieve what you want by creating your own custom column control. You have to create a class and inherit from the DataGridColumn class in the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace.

I got this link from a book I have:

You think that this way the viewstate will keep controls added at runtime ?

I am not sure, just trying to give you some ideas. I have looked around a bit, and that seemed to be the best lead I had. Good luck, and if you figure it out, please post how you did it so others will know.

Ok thanks,

I didn't had time to create my own class so I went with Datagrid Editcolumn instead of doing mass update, I do each item with Edit/Udate.

Thanks for everything!
