DynamicallyPopulateGridView\Matrix

[gh]

I am using VS 2008. I have a SqlDataAdapter that returns the Names of
the 50 states and a unique id for each state. I have a Grid View with
6 columns defined as template fields, the markup is below. As I load
each state name into a cell I check to see if there are active members
in that state and put an image in the cell before the state name. Each
state name is also a hyperlink I attach the unique id to. The grid view
is 20 rows. When I get to row 20 then I will start at the top in row 0
column 2.

How can I get hold of the row\cell, to set the image url and name
hyperlink? I have created html tables dynamically before and added the
cells and rows at runtime, but the client would rather I use a html
table or gridview with the rows and columns preset.

TIA

Use the e parameter of the RowDataBound event handler to retrieve a
DataRow as follows:

DataRow drState = (DataRow)e.Row.DataItem;

Then access the data values with drState["ColumnName"] etc
