GridView RowDataBound Alternating Row RowState issue
This was pissing me off for a good hour: RowDataBound event after you call edit on a row, I was checking for this row's state like this:
e.Row.RowState ==
DataControlRowState.Edit
this worked fine with rows No 1, 3, 5... (non-alternating rows), however with alternating rows of same GridView it did NOT work as their RowState is something like "Alternate | Edit". RowState contains more than one value using bit-logic. See DataControlRowState Enumeration
the solution is as follows:
((e.Row.RowState &
DataControlRowState.Edit) > 0)
