Setting ASP.NET Textbox width to datagrid columns width

[Auld Nick II]

Hi,

I'm using a datagrid to edit\update content on a database. This is good, but certain column have to be hyperlinks. When I do this and hit the edit command it doesn't replace it with a text box.

I got round this by

<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText = "HYPERLINK">
<ItemStyle Wrap="False"></ItemStyle>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:hyperlink Runat = server NavigateUrl = <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "HyperLink")%> text =<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "HyperLink")%> ></asp:hyperlink>
<asp:TextBox Runat = server text = <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "HyperLink")%> Visible = false></asp:TextBox>
</ItemTemplate>

In my edit command procedure, I set the Hyperlink's visible property = false and the textboxe's = true.

What I would like to do is set the textbox's width = to the parent column's width, I don't know the parent columns width at design time.

Anybody got any ideas.

Cheers,

AuldNick

Can't you just set the width to 100%?

BTW - There is a forum specifically for ASP.NET questions.

No I've tried the 100% idea, it doesn't have any effect. I'll try reposting on the ASP.NET forum. Cheers
