IConnectCode

I'm trying to add a custom row for each Item and Alternating 
Item that is added to my datagrid.  The idea is for each row created, 
to create another row beneath it, so I can have one cell that spans 
all the columns to display a lot of text.



Heres the code i'm using for the OnItemCreated event:



private void dgAlerts_ItemCreated(object sender,


System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)

{

 DataGridItem item = e.Item;

// if its not an item or alternating item, get out of here

if (item.ItemType != ListItemType.Item & item.ItemType !=

ListItemType.AlternatingItem)

                return;

// we need to access the datarow to get the text, so lets get it

        DataRow dataRow = ((DataRowView) item.DataItem).Row;

//now we need to create the new row, add the cell and put in some text.


DataGridItem oNewItem = new


DataGridItem(item.ItemIndex,item.DataSetIndex,item.ItemType);


TableCell oNewCell = new TableCell();

oNewItem.Cells.Add( oNewCell);

oNewCell.ColumnSpan = item.Cells.Count;

Label oFullText = new Label();

oFullText.Text = (string)

dataRow[(int)enumAlertDataGridColumns.Details];

oNewCell.Controls.Add(oFullText);


// now w need to add it to the table (is always first item in

datagrid controls) and we're done!


dgAlerts.Controls[0].Controls.Add(oNewItem);


}

If you change the event from ItemCreated to ItemDataBound 

and use the same code, you will get the custom row below instead of

above your items.

<asp:DataGrid id="dgAlerts" OnItemDataBound="dgAlerts_ItemDataBound" .... />





and change the name of the private void, to dgAlerts_

ItemDataBound instead of ItemCreated.The created event has 

not created your item yet, so when you append to the Controls[0]

 you get it before the DataBound one.  So when you change 

it to the DataBound one, the Item is already created and you can 

then append the new row AFTER the DataBound one.
