onItemDataBound manipulation deletes header?

[link9]

Has anyone worked with the onItemDataBound event of a datagrid?

I am working with it now, wanting to change the .text() property of a cell based on the data that's in there. However, every time I touch it, the header for the column no longer appears...

Has anyone experienced this, and solved the problem?

Public Sub dgUsers_OnItemDataBound(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgUsers.ItemDataBound
Dim division As New String(e.Item.Cells(2).Text())
e.Item.Cells(2).Text = getDivision(division)
End Sub

Just trying to do a simple text replacement. And this works just fine, except that the header on the column is lost.

thx-

Ok -- got this one.

The problem is that onItemDataBound includes the header and footer, as well... and therefore it was trying to replace the text, didn't find an expected value (a number) and therefore returned a blank string, replacing the header.

What the code should look like is this:

if e.item.itemType <> ListItemType.Header Then
e.Item.Cells(3).Text = getDivision(division)
End If

enjoy-
