How to replace text in some cells of GridView after data binding?

I have a GridView that is assosiated with database. Here's a data binding:
protected void GridViewProgramms_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int rowIndex = ((GridView) sender).SelectedIndex;
var programid = ((GridView) sender).Rows[rowIndex].Cells[1].Text;
GridViewEx.RowEditing += GridViewEx_RowEditing;
SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters["ID"].DefaultValue = programid;
GridViewEx.DataBind();
ExcersicePanel.Visible = true;
PanelAp.Visible = false;
}
Everything works fine, but I need to change some cells values in GridView after that. I need to rewrite every Cell in the last row. How to do this without affecting the database?

You will need to write your code(To change the cell text) in RowDataBound event of the gridview after data bind
Refer following link for more explanation
Update GridView Column after databinding

protected void GridViewEx_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
label or textbox ddltype = (label or textbox)e.Row.FindControl("id");
ddltype.text="ur text";
}
}

How to get GridViewRow from DataKeys

I know this type of question is asked before but no one got the answer yet...!!
How to get a Grid View Row from Data Keys.I don't want to iterate through the whole gird view.
I want to access specific text box(s) in a grid view.
for example in a 100 rows grid view i only want to disable any 2 text boxes on Page Load.
I have Data Key Names defined in grid, but how to get rows from it ?
any idea?

Please try following code..
protected void GVSample_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
//Get data row view
DataRowView drview = e.Row.DataItem as DataRowView;
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
//Find textbox control
TextBox txtname = (TextBox)e.Row.FindControl("txtName");
string Name = txtname.Text;
if (((GridView)sender).DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Value.ToString() == "Leave")
{
txtname.disable=true;
}
else
{
txtname.disable = false;
}
}
}

How to change the color of label depending on certain values in the gridview

I have a sqldatasource and gridview.
I have two columns:
ID | Status
1 Closed
2 Opened
3 Waiting
How to change the color of the label in the view state of the gridview depeding on the value from the 'status' column.
For example if the value in the cell is "Closed" the label color will be red , if it's opened then it will become green and so on.
I've thought about looping through all cells of the status column and if the cell contains a certain value the color will change. ( in row data bound event ) . But I haven't done this because I don't find this idea as a good one because of the looping part.

use the RowDataBound event from the grid view to check what is the status. You don't need to do a loop because that event (if you register or not) is being called.
One thing to note, you will need to make sure you are looking at the right row (header, footer, alternate etc) so something like this
void YourGridViewName_RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// Do your color change here by accessing the col with e.Row.Cells[column_index].BackColor = 'what ever you want'
}
}

You can enable the RowDataBound Event in the markup
<asp:GridView ID="gridview1" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="RowDataBound">
</asp:GridView>
And put this in your Code-Behind file.
protected void RowDataBound(Object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// Retrieve the underlying data item. In this example
// the underlying data item is a DataRowView object.
DataRowView rowView = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
// Retrieve the state value for the current row.
String state = rowView["state"].ToString();
//format color of the as below
if(state == "Closed")
(e.Row.FindControl("lbl1") as Label).BackColor = Color.Red;
if(state == "Open")
(e.Row.FindControl("lbl1") as Label).BackColor = Color.Green;
if(state == "Waiting")
(e.Row.FindControl("lbl1") as Label).BackColor = Color.Yellow;
}
}

You have to write code in the rowdatabound event of your grid view.
Example:
private GridView1_RowDatabound(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
// You have to put your logic here.
if( e.Row.Cells[1].Text == "closed" )
{
// to get a reference to label control
Label lb = e.Row.FindControl("LabelCOntrolID");
}
}
}

how this code (or project) work?(editable ASP Gridview)

I am new in ASP.NET ,I would have editable gridview in asp.net using C# , I found this editable gridview (Database , Project) in codeproject but i didn't realize how
its work specially this part of code:`
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
DataRowView drv = e.Row.DataItem as DataRowView;
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
if ((e.Row.RowState & DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0)
{
DropDownList dp= (DropDownList )e.Row .FindControl ("DropDownList1");
DataTable dt = load_department();
for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
ListItem lt = new ListItem();
lt.Text = dt.Rows[i][0].ToString();
dp.Items.Add(lt);
}
dp.SelectedValue = drv[3].ToString();
RadioButtonList rbtnl = (RadioButtonList)e.Row.FindControl("RadioButtonList1");
rbtnl.SelectedValue = drv[5].ToString();
CheckBoxList chkb = (CheckBoxList)e.Row.FindControl("CheckBoxList2");
chkb.SelectedValue = drv[6].ToString();
}
}
}

Why she/he do this??

RowDataBound event fires when you bind the grid to a datasource, say, for example, a datatable.
For each row in the datatable, this code will run, and will, depending on the values in that row, put a value in each column of the grid view.
FindControl is used to find the control with the spcific name on that line of the grid view - remember, it will be repeated many times for as many rows as you have.
Once the control has been found, the value is set.
You are effectively setting up each row of the grid view for each row of the data in your data source.
Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163933.aspx for an overview of the intent behind this control.

** RowDataBound Occurs when a data row is bound to data in a GridView control.
**DataControlRowState Specifies the state of a row in a data control for eg.Edit,Insert,Selected etc
** RowState Gets the current state of the row with regard to its relationship to the DataRowCollection.
now in that if condition your dropdownbox (DropDownList1) is filled and RadioButton and Checkebox are setting up their selected values.

Selecting an Item in GridView with ITemplate Generated Button

I'm having trouble figuring out how could I use my imagebutton (see below) in my ITemplate to append the button's corresponding row data (ItemID) as a query string.
My ImageButton in my ITemplate:
ImageButton select_button = new ImageButton();
select_button.ID = "select_button";
select_button.ImageUrl = "~/Files/System/Icons/highlighter.png";
select_button.CommandName = "Select";
select_button.ToolTip = "Select";
container.Controls.Add(select_button);
Should I handle it in in the imagebutton's OnClick event (if so, is there a way to get the row where the button is located) or can I handle in in the GridView events (rowbinding, rowseleted, rowcommand, etc.)?
I'd be glad to elaborate more on my code upon request. ^ ^

You can set the ID in the CommandArgument property of your button control in the RowDataBound Event. Once you have an ID, you can track rows with it.
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
{
DataRow dr = ((DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem).Row;
((Button)e.Row.FindControl("select_button")).CommandArgument = dr["IdColumn"].ToString();
}
}
