Board index » Web Programming » prevent DropDownList from displaying in GridView column if it's em

Web Programming26
I have a number of rows in a GridView Column which don't have values for the

DropDownList, is there a way to hide the control if it has no data?



Here's my code:

<ItemTemplate>

<asp:DropDownList ID="RideDatesDropDownList" runat="server"

DataSourceId="RideDatesSqlDataSource" DataTextField="RideDate"

DataValueField="RideDate"

DataTextFormatString="{0:MMM yyyy}" CssClass="waDropDownList">

</asp:DropDownList>



Thanks for any clues on this.

Consume the DataBound event of the dropdownlist, e.g.

OnDataBound="ShowHideDDL"



Then write a protected method in the codebehind like this:

protected void ShowHideDDL(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

DropDownList ddl= (DropDownList) sender;

ddl.Visible= (ddl.Items.Count>0);

}
