Hello friends, I have a formview on my aspx page containing various controls arranged using table. There is a DDL "cboClients" which i need to enable or disabled depending upon role within Edit mode.
The problem here is that i am not able to get that control using FindControl() method.
I have tried following code -
DropDownList ddl = null;
if (FormView1.Row != null)
{
ddl = (DropDownList)FormView1.Row.FindControl("cboClients");
ddl.Enabled=false;
}
Even I ave used the DataBound event of the same control -
protected void cboClients_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (FormView1.CurrentMode == FormViewMode.Edit) { if ((Session["RoleName"].ToString().Equals("Clients")) || (Session["RoleName"].ToString().Equals("Suppliers"))) { DropDownList ddl = (DropDownList)sender; ddl.Enabled = false; } } }
But this databound event occurs only once, but not when formview mode is changed.
Can anyone provide me proper solution?
Thanks for sharing your time.
