  Handle to a gridview in a substitution static function

  Dec 06, 2012 10:56 PM|LINK

  How do I get a handle to a gridview control on a page from within a Static Function?

  I have:

  Public Shared Function GetHidden(ByVal context As HttpContext) _
          As String
          'Return DateTime.Now.ToString()
          Dim HideString As String
  
          'Add Hidden Variables
          Dim MyGrandTotal As Label = GridView2.FooterRow.FindControl("MyGrandTotal")
  
          HideString = "<input type='hidden' name='x_invoice_num value='" & Session("orderid") & "' />"
          HideString = HideString & "<br>" & "<input type='hidden' name='x_amount value='" & MyGrandTotal.Text.ToString & "' />"
  
          Return HideString
      End Function

  The problem with this is that Gridview2 is undefined in the static member, so is the session.

  I tried doing this but it didn't help:

  'DefaultSPC is the code Behind Page Class

  Dim MyPageClass As New DefaultSPC
          Dim RefSession As HttpSessionState = HttpContext.Current.Session
  
          Dim MyGrandTotal As Label = MyPageClass.GridView2.FooterRow.FindControl("MyGrandTotal")
  
          HideString = "<input type='hidden' name='x_invoice_num value='" & RefSession("orderid") & "' />"

  Thanks that would not work for what I needed to do.  I had to go a different way.
