Thanks  , so i will work on the datasource directly and bind it to my grid . 

How ever do you know if there is a substitute for the below Displaylayout and Bands in webdatagrid , how do i achieve this in codebehind?

 string name= this.RoutesGrid.DisplayLayout.SelectedRows[0].Cells.FromKey("Name").ToString();

this.BatchStatusGrid.Bands[0].Columns[0].Header.Caption ="abc";

Hello Sreevani,

Thank you for getting back to me.

WebDataGrid does not have a DisplayLayout. What I can suggest for retrieving the text of a particular cell in the selected row is using Behaviors property of the grid. Via this property you could get a reference to the selection behavior an especially to the SeletedRows collection. Afterwards, using the items collection you could retrieve the value of any cell using its index. For example:

 //gets the value for the cell in the first column(with index 0) of the selected row
 var selectedRowCell0Value = this.WebDataGrid1.Behaviors.Selection.SelectedRows[0].Items[0].Text;

What I can suggest regarding your second requirement is using the InitializeRow server side event to set the header text for a particular column. In this event via the event argument, which is current row being initialized, a reference to any column could be retrieved via the items collection. Again this is achieved with the column index. Afterwards, the column header text property could be set as following:

protected void WebDataGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, RowEventArgs e)
{
 //check row index and do this only on the first row, instead of doing it for every row
 if (e.Row.Index == 0)
{
 e.Row.Items[0].Column.Header.Text = "Your header text here";
}
}

I hope you find this information helpful.

Hello,

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance with this matter.

Hello , Thanks but i dont  want to set the header  on InitializeRow event , may be  just after databining to the grid on Page load , can you tell me how to do this ?

1) need an way to implement TemplatedColumn  in wdg.

proteed void Grid_InitializeRow(object sender, RowEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Row != null)
{
TemplatedColumn primary = (TemplatedColumn)e.Row.Items.FindItemByKey("name").Column;   //  what is an alternative for TemplatedColumn
GridRecordItem cellItemPrimary = (GridRecordItem)primary.CellItems[e.Row.Index];  // is this correct?

}

}

2) how to implement   CellItems  in webdatagrid

GridField cellItemfirst = (GridField)first.CellItems[e.Row.Index];

3)find control on webdatagrid

 Image secImage = (Image)cellItemSecondary.findcontrol("imgcol");

Hello Arjun,

Setting the column header in the Page_Load event is similar to setting it in the InitializeRow event.  The only difference is that the reference to the Rows collection is taken via the WebDataGrid instead of the RowEventArguments. For example:

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   this.WebDataGrid1.DataSource = populateGrid();
   this.WebDataGrid1.DataBind();
   WebDataGrid1.Rows[0].Items[0].Column.Header.Text = "Your header text here";
}

I hope this helps.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this matter.
