Read data from Datagrid webcontrol

[Bas Jaburg]

Hello,

I have populated a datagrid on my aspx page with data from the
database. The datagrid also has TemplateColumn with a textbox to enter
the quantity in. If I submit, the data in that column seems to be
empty. It's not the Postback thing, I already checked that. All the
other data is there, but the freshly entered data is not.

The grid looks something like this:

<asp:datagrid id="dgProducts" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID"></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Quantity">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox Runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:datagrid>

(so this one has two columns)

If I try to read it using:

foreach (DataGridItem item in dgProducts.Items)
{
Response.Write (item.Cells[1].Text);
}

it shows nothing!

What am i doing wrong?

Help greatly appreciated.

Regards
