assigning values to cells on itemdatabound

[gane]

Hi,

I would like to assign a value to a datagrid item using the column name
instead of using something like e.item.cell[1].text in itemdatabound

eg:
DataRowView rv = (DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem;
string strLocation = Convert.ToString(rv.Row["locationptr"].ToString())

I used dataitem to fetch, but i donno how to assign some value.

Thanks
Gane

Thanks.
I have my column names stored in web.config as key/value pairs.
column names might be added or removed from web.config files.
I would appreciate it, if you can show me a small eg. on how to acheive this
?

You could create an enum that maps the column names to ordinal position.

Any ideas on how to assign value to a datagrid cell referencing the column
name?
