Conditionally Display edit button in datagrid 1

[TerryDad2]

I have a data grid where I want a button column to show an "edit" button only when the record is "owned" by the user but also show all other records in the table. The owner is a column in the same table the data is pulled from.

How does one conditionally have a buttoncolumn display the button?

You use the onItemDataBound event of the datagrid.

Once in this event handler, you can access the dataGridItemEventArgs argument's item collection to drill down into the various controls on the item (which literally translates to a row on your datagrid). You can examine values, show/hide controls, change attributes, merge cells, etc...

Please reference 4guysfromrolla's excellent article on the datagrid for more information, which you can find a link for here:

If you hit roadblocks, then post back, and we can walk through it.
