I have a gridview bound to an objectDataSource.
It is set to filter on one or two fields, this is all working fine.

Is there a way to programatically access the rows that are displayed after a filter has been applied?

Hi sp4ceman,

You can loop through the GridView, whenever it has been applied or not. You can access all rows that are being displayed in GridView:

foreach (GridViewRow gvr in GridView1.Rows)
{
    Response.Write("This is no." + (gvr.RowIndex + 1).ToString() + " Row");
    //string data = gvr.Cells[0].Text;
}

Thanks,

I have a grid bound to a datasource containing say 8 rows. I apply a filter leaving only 3 rows visible, the other 5 are filtered out.

If I loop through the rowCollection it loops through all 8 rows, not only the visible 3. I need to only access the 3 visible rows..

The rowDataBound event fires 3 times, once for each of the rows returned... so I made my changes there...
Whats weird is that even though the rowDataBound event fires 3 times, the rows.Count remains at 8..

I thought there would be a filteredRows property or something on a grid to allow me to access only the 3 returned rows..

Hi sp4ceman,

Do you set visible=false in rows or filter the data source of GridView to filter out the rows. Show me your GridView and the code for filtering and RowDataBound.

Thanks,
