Dim lblTimeleft As Label = CType(e.Row.Cells(9).FindControl("lblTimeleft"), Label)

Hi guys,

I'm a bit of a newbie, but know VB Classic quite well. The above statement
appears in some code I'm hacking, and I have added a column to the DataGrid
(in the middle, so those to the right have had their index upped by one).
Yet the statement above seems to still return the same value.

Is the Index value (9) in the statement :

CType(e.Row.Cells(9).FindControl("lblTimeleft"), Label)

doing anything, or is the call simply going to the row, and picking the
control from there ?

Thanks in advance

Sorry, no answer, but you should give some more information. What is e?
Where is the code located? By searching for "findcontrol" I get 5
results. Which one is it? "Cells" give 4 results. Hmmm... Ok, 3 out of 5
are "protected", so 2 are remaining..... After combining the results,
it's probably

System.Web.UI.Control.FindControl(ByVal String) As
System.Web.UI.Control

Right? Pretty much to do for a reader before being able to understand
the question. :-)
